I explain the science of happiness, including the different types of happiness and how our actions, circumstances and mindset control them. While it is difficult to standardize happiness from one person to the next, I outline a structured framework of what is critical to increasing your innate “natural happiness,” including financial security, purposeful work and relationships, and I explain specific tools to increase internal happiness (so-called “synthetic happiness”). I review how specific types of human connection and attention to our choices (or lack thereof) can increase or undermine our level of happiness. I also discuss the importance of certain types of physical contact, gratitude, financial choices and volunteer contributions that research shows can maximize happiness. And I discuss how factors such as children, pets, physical well-being, substance use, prior traumas and life-phase milestones affect our quest for and depth of happiness. • #HubermanLab #Science • Thank you to our sponsors • Athletic Greens: https://athleticgreens.com/huberman • Thesis: https://takethesis.com/huberman • InsideTracker: https://insidetracker.com/huberman • Helix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/huberman • Supplements from Momentous • https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman • Huberman Lab Premium • https://hubermanlab.com/premium • Social Website • Instagram: / hubermanlab • Twitter: / hubermanlab • Facebook: / hubermanlab • TikTok: / hubermanlab • LinkedIn: / andrew-huberman • Website: https://hubermanlab.com • Newsletter: https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network • Articles • Spending Money on Others Promotes Happiness: http://bit.ly/3X3k71V • A Wandering Mind Is an Unhappy Mind: https://bit.ly/3sMP64B • Eye contact marks the rise and fall of shared attention in conversation: http://bit.ly/3hy04IF • The Influence of Interactions with Dogs on Affect, Anxiety, and Arousal in Children: http://bit.ly/3htjBdh • Books • Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence: https://amzn.to/3A9S4UY • The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity―and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race: https://amzn.to/3E3Und5 • Timestamps • 00:00:00 Happiness • 00:06:27 Tool: Light Exposure Timing Brightness Timing • 00:14:14 Thesis, InsideTracker, Helix Sleep • 00:17:51 Imprecise Language for Happiness • 00:20:26 Happiness: Neuromodulators Neurotransmitters • 00:26:32 Harvard Happiness Project • 00:29:22 Income Happiness; Social Interactions Peer Group • 00:37:20 Work, Sense of Meaning Happiness • 00:40:13 Toolkit for General Wellbeing • 00:43:06 Happiness Across the Lifespan, Does Having Children Make Us Happier? • 00:47:33 AG1 (Athletic Greens) • 00:50:20 Birthdays Evaluated Happiness • 00:52:45 Smoking, Alcohol Happiness • 00:54:23 Trauma Happiness, Lottery Winner vs. Paraplegic Accident • 01:05:05 Synthesizing Happiness • 01:09:18 Natural Happiness Synthetic Happiness; Music • 01:13:45 Tool: Synthesizing Happiness: Effort, Environment Gratitude • 01:24:50 Tool: Pro-Social Spending/Effort, Happiness • 01:31:55 Tool: Focus, Wandering Mind Meditation • 01:39:40 Tool: Quality Social Connection • 01:41:28 Brief Social Connection, Facial Recognition Predictability • 01:46:33 Deep Social Connection, Presence Eye Contact • 01:54:00 Physical Contact Social Connection, Allogrooming, Pets • 02:03:00 Freedom Choice; Synthetic Happiness • 02:11:57 Happiness Toolkit • 02:22:00 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Neural Network Newsletter, Social Media • Huberman Lab is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
