The 3 macronutrients of happiness and how to build them into your life | Professor Arthur Brooks

How do you become happier?


Professor Arthur Brooks describes 3 “macronutrients” for a happier life: enjoyment, satisfaction and meaning. Rather than chasing positive feelings, the idea is to build more of each into our everyday lives.


We get into some really practical ways to do this, including:

• Why being bored is good for your brain

• The three times to put your phone away each day

• How to make your downtime more meaningful

• How to find more meaning through love, awe and spirituality


👤 About today’s guest: Arthur Brooks is a professor at Vanderbilt University, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School, a New York Times bestselling author and a leading researcher on happiness and meaning.

His latest book, The Meaning of Your Life, is out now. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Strength to Strength, it's an account of how the modern world sets us up to fail at finding meaning, and a plan for finding what you seek.
