Up to 40% of college students report being too depressed to function most days. Over two-thirds say they experience overwhelming anxiety, and the scariest statistic is that more than 1 in 10 college students right now report seriously considering suicide in the past year.
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, I talk with Dr. Laurie Santos about the misconceptions of happiness and why money or a better job doesn’t create happiness. We discuss the importance of prioritizing our relationships and why they are key to our happiness. We also talk about “time famine” versus “time freedom” and how to think about the way we spend our time and what is really important.
