Our guest this week is Shawn Achor author of the Happiness Advantageand Big Potential.We discuss the measurable definition of happiness, how happiness can affect every aspect of your life and specifically how habit patterns influence the potential of our genes and environment that were previously thought to be our upper limits.

Also, we talk about the importance of gratefulness and social connection in literally every aspect of your life.
