About this episode

<p> Many of us rush through our days, weeks, and lives, chasing goals and just trying to get everything done. But that can blind us to a very simple source of joy that’s all around us. This week, we revisit a favorite conversation with psychologist <a href="https://psychology.berkeley.edu/people/dacher-keltner" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dacher Keltner</a>, who describes what happens when we stop to savor nature, art, or simply the moral courage of those around us. Then, in our segment "Your Questions Answered," <a href="https://rossier.usc.edu/faculty-research/directory/maryhelen-immordinoyang" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mary Helen Immordino-Yang</a> returns to answer listeners' questions about learning and how to keep students engaged in school. </p> <p><i>Looking for a last-minute holiday gift for the Hidden Brain fan in your life?
