The biggest predictor of success isn’t outcomes, it’s process. And in Codie’s view, it’s also the secret to happiness. In this episode of Office Hours, Codie and I explore her philosophy of happiness, built around three requirements: progress, freedom, and ownership. We talk about what those ideas mean in practice: how earning your own money shapes your sense of agency, why responsibility taken voluntarily can increase satisfaction, and why ownership isn’t just about assets, but about taking res

Each of us has a different emotional profile, and understanding your own can change the way you manage your happiness.

Today, my new show, “Office Hours” went live! The first episode draws from my new book, “The Happiness Files,” a collection of essays from my ‘How to Build a Life’ column in The Atlantic.

America doesn’t have an anger problem. We have a contempt problem. In this week’s episode of “Office Hours,” I talk about how we can bring more love and happiness into a world that feels increasingly bitter and divided. Too often, contempt fills the space where love could exist. Much of what I share today draws from my book, “Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt.” I reflect on what I’ve learned about standing up for those we oppose and why real chang

In this episode of 'Office Hours', I explore how to better understand your emotions: what they are, why they evolved, and how to make them work for you instead of against you. Emotions like fear, anger, joy, and disgust are ancient tools for survival, but in the modern world, they can easily misfire, leading to overreaction and lost perspective. The goal isn’t to suppress emotions, but to learn how to interpret and regulate them so they serve your highest good. And on the topic of emotions, I ha
