In this episode, we transition from philosophy to modern psychological science in search of the good life.
In this episode, we explore sleep and how it influences the aspects of the good life as outlined in the PERMA model of flourishing.
In the second of the three-part mini-series on the mind-body connect, we discuss nutrition's role in the good life.
In the last episode of our mini-series on the mind-body connection for the good life, we discuss movement.
In this first episode of a new mini-series, we explore the impact of families on the good life.
We wrap up our mini-series on relationships with friends, lovers, and coworkers.
In our first episode focusing on meaning and the good life, I speak with Dr. Travis Pashak about clinical psychology, existentialism, meaning making, and fruit.
We are continuing to talk about about meaning and purpose in the good life. In this episode, I speak with a non-traditional student who reflects on the pivots she's made in her career and life to follow her good life.
