Ankur Warikoo has recently spotlighted seven effective happiness strategies derived from the work of Yale psychologist Laurie Santos. Santos, renowned for her course "Psychology and the Good Life," has created a curriculum that has become the most popular in the university's history. The techniques presented by Warikoo aim to help individuals rewire their brains to foster long-term happiness.
Among the strategies discussed are methods for overcoming social anxiety, the importance of embracing small daily joys, and the benefits of unstructured play. These approaches are designed to cultivate a more positive mindset and enhance overall well-being. Notably, Warikoo expresses a particular fondness for the fifth strategy, which emphasizes the art of savoring moments and effectively managing hedonic adaptation. This technique encourages individuals to fully appreciate their experiences, allowing them to derive greater satisfaction from life’s simple pleasures. Through these insights, Warikoo aims to inspire others to pursue a happier, more fulfilling life.
