Madison

I'll watch the show when it airs, but that's about as close as I'm going to get to you.

All right.

Well, I'm sorry.

No second date, Madison, but it sounds like you're fine with it.

Wow.

Hi, Professor Brooks.

Great to see you.

Oprah, nice to meet you.

Thanks so much for having me.

I had the pleasure of taking Arthur's class this year at HBS Leadership and Happiness.

Almost everyone really refers to it as the happiness class.

I think the first thing we learned on the first day was understanding what true happiness means.

It's not just an emotion.

It's actually

fulfillment and getting to that over time.

And I appreciated the pillars that Arthur would bring to you of what actually ultimately drives fulfillment, drives meaning family, faith, and friends.

Absolutely stuck out to me as those pillars.

And

To the point that you all were just speaking about looking outside yourself, it's easy in business school, especially at Harvard, to be on the hedonic treadmill of just more achievement, more achievement.

But ultimately, Arthur really created this framework around how we could both achieve for not only ourselves and our goals, but also for the betterment of others and those pillars that we value, the communities that we're in.
