Hi NSQ listeners! We’re off this week, so we’re bringing you something special from the NSQ archive. It’s a conversation between Angela and fellow psychologist Laurie Santos, who hosts a podcast called The Happiness Lab. We originally published this episode back in 2021, but we think its themes are as relevant as ever as we ring in 2024. Wishing you a Happy New Year, and we’ll be back next week with a brand new episode!*      *      *DUCKWORTH: Thank the Lord that you’re here.
