we wind up losing some of the psychological benefits that can come from connection and mattering because we're trying to just bang things out and do it as easily as possible. Well, sometimes you have to put in some work to feel like things matter.

Thanks so much for having me.

And I think people really want to know what they can do to improve how they feel, right? Whether that's becoming happier, becoming healthier in terms of a lot of the work that Katie Milkman does. And I think people want evidence-based strategies to do that. I think most people don't want a bunch of platitudes and woo. I think people want to engage with strategies that are really going to work.

And so I think it really is the case that more scientists should be thinking about strategies that we can use to help people, right? I think more scientists should be getting into the business of sharing what we know. In some ways, the fact that there are a few of us is sad.

I think more scientists should be out there telling people, hey, here's what our field has really learned about the kinds of things you can do. to feel better. And I've been doing this now for a little over six or seven years.

And it's just been amazing to get people to really feel like people are taking what the science has shown, putting it into effect in their own lives, often in really creative ways. And it's really making a difference. So that's felt incredible to be a part of sharing some of this work.

Well, it really started when I took on a new role on Yale's campus. For a while, I've been teaching there for over two decades, but In the last six or so years, I became what's called the head of college on campus. And so heads of college are faculty members who live on campus with students. So I got to live with students in this nice house in their kind of courtyard.
