#44 The Happiness Study Lied to You (But Not How You Think)

For 85 years, Harvard tracked what makes life worth living.

The answer was clear. The culture? Not so much.

This episode unravels how we took one of the most important studies ever done on happiness — and turned it into Instagram therapy, hustle culture, and $18 candles that smell like personal growth.

Based on The Good Life by Marc Schulz and Robert Waldinger… and filtered through Think First’s dry humor, media lens, and deep-cut clarity.

Because the study didn’t lie — but someone’s been selling you poetic truth ever since.
