Socrates in the City host Eric Metaxas sits down with Dr. Arthur Brooks to tackle one of life’s most enduring questions: What is happiness? Drawing from his latest book, The Happiness Files, as well as decades of scholarship and teaching, Dr. Brooks offers profound insights into not only the nature of happiness itself, but also the deeper dimensions of love, loss, and meaning. Together, they examine the science behind happiness, the obstacles modern society places in its path, and the practical wisdom Dr. Brooks shares with his students—most memorably through his signature exercise, “What is my idol?”
