In this episode, I talk about the why and how of making small connections with people in your life every single day. I explain a study that was presented on the Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos, where commuters in Chicago were asked to either talk or not talk with other people on the train on the way to work. And surprisingly, the group who had (even somewhat awkward) conversations on the way to work reported being happier at the end of the day than the no talking group! I give some examples of ways to connect with others, from family to friends to whoever you live with to making random small talk with people (tip: compliment people!). Action item: try to connect with someone in your life each day even for 20 seconds (ideally, a random person you see out in the world) and see how much better you feel!
