TED Talks Daily · 1 thing you can do today to be happier | Sonja Lyubomirsky · 3 Feb 2026 podcast

Happy people, they have more energy.

They persevere more.

They have passion.

So I think those two things are not inconsistent.

They kind of go together.

Yeah, great question.

Absolutely.

And by the way, I'm an extroverted introvert.

Okay, so I love like parties are my happy space.

And yet I love solitude.

So we all need lots of, you know, ingredients in our life.

And solitude is part of that.

But if you're solitary all the time, you know, you are going to miss it.

I think it's a very, very, very rare person.

I mean, there are some people, I actually met someone who

like that.

And, you know, he sees humans once a year, yet I would say he's connected to God, you know, so even people who are sort of solitary are connected to something else.

So I don't want to say universal, but I think it's sort of a near universal need that humans have for connection.

And it makes sense because like evolutionarily speaking, we wouldn't have thrived, we wouldn't have survived, we wouldn't be able to mate and reproduce if we weren't, you know, sort of connected and felt loved by others.

Of course, it's not that 100% of your hours of the day need to be with others.
