And being a happiness guru, especially in an age where there's a lot of bad stuff going on in a global pandemic, it keeps me pretty busy because, you know, a lot of people want advice, a lot of people want help.

So it's hard prioritizing the right stuff.

Oh, man, there's so many best things. I mean, I honestly think the best things are my students. I love them so much. I love interacting with them. They teach me so much and I'm so privileged to get to work with them. That's great.
