Four Practical Ways to Live Like a Stoic with Ryan Holiday
3 november 2025 · 1 uur 7 min
Many people think Stoicism is about suppressing emotions or accepting suffering with a stiff upper lip. But it’s really about learning to live well, to find peace, courage, and happiness in a chaotic world. Lees meer
In this episode of Office Hours, I sit down with my friend Ryan Holiday, bestselling author and modern Stoic who has written several books about Stoicism, including his latest, Wisdom Takes Work. Together, we explore how ancient wisdom can help us live better today and why doing the right thing, even when it’s hard, leads to greater happiness.
We talk about how to stay centered in a world that constantly tests our integrity and attention, and what it means to live with temperance and purpose. Stoicism reminds us that we can’t always control what happens, but we can control how we respond, and that choice shapes the life we build.

The 4 Types of Careers, and How to Find Yours
27 oktober 2025 · 44 min
Many people think a successful career moves in a straight line, always upward and forward. But life isn’t that neat. There are actually four different career paths, and which one is best for you depends on your individual psychology. Lees meer
In this episode of Office Hours, I talk about why the happiest people are those whose work reflects their values and stage of life, not someone else’s idea of success. We’ll look at what happens to happiness when we change jobs, why satisfaction almost always drops after the honeymoon period, and how our mindset shapes what comes next. I’ll also share four rules for making a good job change that can help you find greater alignment, satisfaction, and peace of mind in your work.

4 Ways to Love the People You Disagree With
20 oktober 2025 · 52 min
America doesn’t have an anger problem. We have a contempt problem. Lees meer
In this 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. When we choose to love those who disagree with us, we not only make the world better, but we also make our own lives happier.
A lot of what I share today draws from my book Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt (2019). I reflect on what I’ve learned about standing up for those we oppose, and why real change starts when we take contempt personally. I hope you walk away from this episode remembering that behind every cruel remark or dehumanizing label is a person with inherent worth and dignity.
In the episode, I will also explore a psychological concept known as the Dark Triad—a trio of personality traits that can fuel conflict and polarization. If you're curious about how these traits show up in yourself or others, you can take a quick quiz at arthurbrooks.com/darktriads to see where you land.

3 Steps to Managing Your Emotions
13 oktober 2025 · 59 min
Are you managing your emotions, or are they managing you? Lees meer
In this episode of Office Hours, I explore how to manage your emotions by understanding how they work and what they are trying to tell you. Emotions like fear, anger, joy, and disgust evolved to protect and guide us, yet in the modern world, they often become misaligned, leading us to overreact or lose perspective. The goal is not to eliminate emotions entirely, but to understand that they work for you, not the other way around.
To learn more about how you, specifically, experience positive and negative emotions, take the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) quiz here.
In this episode, I cover:
• How to get out of your reptilian brain and engage your reasoning mind
• Why avoiding negative emotions can actually make you less happy
• The evolutionary advantage of rejection and how it protects you
• How politicians exploit the disgust reflex to divide people
• The “count to 30” rule for interrupting emotional impulses
• Three metacognitive techniques for managing emotions in everyday life
• A journaling exercise for reducing anxiety and building perspective
• A Q&A on faith, teaching happiness, and choosing fulfilling work

4 Ways to Use Common Knowledge to be Happier with Steven Pinker
6 oktober 2025 · 45 min
Learn more about your affect profile by taking the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule quiz (PANAS) here. Lees meer
So much of life depends not only on what we know, but also on what we know that others know as well. This shared awareness—what social scientists call common knowledge—explains how we cooperate, why markets rise and fall, and why silence in the face of cancel culture is so damaging.
In this episode of Office Hours, I’m joined by Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist and bestselling author of The Language Instinct and Enlightenment Now. We discuss his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows, and explore how common knowledge influences cooperation, politics, humor, and even happiness, and why using it as a gift, not a weapon, can help us all live better.
We cover:
• What common knowledge really is and why it matters in everyday life
• How nonverbal signals like eye contact or laughter shape our social lives
• Why so many Americans hide their true beliefs
• 4 principles that can help you live a happier, more meaningful life
• How to practice radical honesty with clarity and kindness

Today, I want to talk about one of the lowest-hanging fruits for improving your well-being: exercise. Most Americans don’t get the recommended amount of physical activity, which means there’s an enormous opportunity to feel better. In this episode of Office Hours, I explain the science behind how exercise helps lower stress, anxiety, and negative mood, and how you can utilize it to improve your life.
I also cover:
• Which kinds of exercise do the most to lift your mood and which calm stress the best
• The stark reality of how few Americans meet even the basic exercise guidelines
• The 3 key brain chemicals exercise activates to improve your mood
• How to build an exercise habit that sticks
• How to define your emotional objective and build a routine around it
• The red flags that indicate exercise is tipping into addiction
• Why a simple sunrise walk may be the most effective way to begin
• Listener questions on the effects of rituals on happiness, experiencing transcendence as a skeptic, and finding meaning in life

7 Habits That Lead to Happiness in Old Age
15 september 2025 · 54 min
Most people assume getting older means getting less happy. Maybe you’ve thought it too. But the research shows otherwise. In this episode of Office Hours, I’ll show you how your later years can be some of the happiest of your life and how to make that happen. Lees meer
I’ll take you inside the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the world’s longest scientific study of happiness. I’ll explain why well-being follows a U-shaped curve and why, after midlife, your trajectory depends on the “investments” you’ve made.
I’ll also share the seven habits you can start practicing today to build your own happiness portfolio so you can enjoy more satisfaction, purpose, and joy in the years to come.
In this episode, I cover:
• The biggest misconception people have about their happiness after 50
• Why life satisfaction bottoms out in midlife, then rebounds stronger than before
• The one bad habit most strongly linked to marriage dissolution
• How learning to handle life’s inevitable setbacks pays off in your future well-being
• A case for expanding your mind, reading widely, questioning assumptions, and exploring unfamiliar ideas
• Why love is the strongest predictor of happiness in old age, and why one truly close connection can matter more than many casual ones
• Listener questions on happiness and age, if happiness is relative, and how to make the most out of a long commute

Fame ruined me, but faith saved me: Office Hours meets The Office, with special guest Rainn Wilson
8 september 2025 · 1 uur 7 min
What can faith teach us about happiness that science alone cannot? In this episode of Office Hours, I sit down with my friend, the actor and writer Rainn Wilson. Best known as Dwight Schrute on The Office, Rainn is also a writer and thinker who explores spirituality in his book Soul Boom and on his podcast of the same name. Together, we explore the Baháʼí faith and the lessons it offers for living a more meaningful life. Lees meer
Rainn shares his journey from growing up in the faith to losing his way during the height of fame, to rediscovering purpose through recovery and spiritual practice.
In this episode, we explore:
• A case for studying religions beyond your own
• A brief history of the Baha’i faith and the core tenets that continue to guide millions of followers
• How worship in the Baha’i faith goes far beyond prayer, reaching into art, service, and more
• Why you should learn to surrender to something bigger than yourself
• How fame left Rainn emptier than ever
• Why trying to avoid suffering is a big mistake
• What is the wisest path to happiness
• And more!

2 Proven Strategies (and 1 Big Mistake) for Dealing with Anxiety
1 september 2025 · 37 min
Have you ever felt anxious for no clear reason, like a vague alarm going off in your mind? You’re not alone. Anxiety has become one of the fastest-growing ailments in America, affecting more than 40 million adults. Rates among young people have doubled in the past decade, and the pandemic pushed them even higher. Lees meer
In this episode of Office Hours, I’m tackling the epidemic of anxiety: what it is, why it’s on the rise, and how to work with it instead of against it. Using insights from psychology, evolutionary biology, and my own research, I share how anxiety can become not just manageable, but even leveraged as a performance enhancer.
In this episode, I cover:
• The definition of anxiety as “unfocused fear” and how to recognize it in your own life
• Why anxiety has exploded among young adults and teens
• Why young women need to reduce their time spent on social media
• How anxiety functions as an evolutionary alarm system designed to keep us alive
• Practical strategies for managing your anxiety that focus on presence rather than avoidance
• How the culture of pain elimination fueled the opioid crisis and what it teaches us about pain avoidance
• Wisdom from Kierkegaard on turning your anxiety into performance-enhancing fuel
• If happiness and unhappiness can coexist

The Sociopaths Among Us: How to Spot (and Avoid) a Dark Triad
25 augustus 2025 · 48 min
Have you ever had an abusive boss, a partner who gaslit you at every turn, or a friend who always seemed to bend the truth? You might have crossed paths with someone in the Dark Triad. Lees meer
On this episode of Office Hours, I’m diving into a topic that doesn’t create happiness but often destroys it: the Dark Triad personality constellation. These are the people with three characteristics: narcissism (it’s all about them), Machiavellianism (they’re willing to hurt you), and psychopathy (they feel little empathy or remorse when they do).
Drawing on behavioral science research and evolutionary psychology, I explain what makes Dark Triads tick, how to recognize them before they hurt you, and why avoiding them is essential for your well-being. I also share what to look for instead—the Light Triad, people who trust others, believe in human dignity, and leave you feeling warm and uplifted in their presence.
I discuss:
• The core traits of the Dark Triad and how they drive destructive behavior
• Which careers and environments attract dark triads and how to spot the red flags
• How Machiavellianism shows up in politics (on both sides)
• The science of emophilia and why people who fall in love too fast are Dark Triad targets
• How Dark Triads thrive on social media (and the “first-date test” that can save you heartbreak)
• The telltale behaviors that reveal a Dark Triad in work, love, and online
• The defense tactic Dark Triads use when caught in a lie
• What the Light Triad looks like
• Audience Q&A on the connection between happiness and intelligence and how to comfort aging parents

Whether you’re an employee, a manager, or leading an organization, happiness at work is not just a nice-to-have; it is a proven driver of productivity, loyalty, and even company performance. Lees meer

I discuss:
• The most important factor that drives happiness at work
• How direct, honest communication reduces fear and builds trust
• The surprising impact a manager’s mood has on team morale
• One of the easiest and fastest ways to boost happiness and productivity at work
• How investing in learning, mentorship, and growth creates lasting engagement

5 Ways to Get Happier Starting Today
11 augustus 2025 · 42 min
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Office Hours with Arthur Brooks. I’m thrilled to start this podcast with a topic I’ve devoted much of my life to: how we can be truly happier. Lees meer
This episode draws from my new book, The Happiness Files, a collection of essays from my How to Build a Life column in The Atlantic. But more importantly, it’s grounded in science, drawing on a 2020 study where top researchers ranked the most practical and effective ways to get happier.
Today I discuss:
• The top 5 research-backed ways to improve your well-being
• Why investing in your close relationships is the single most powerful thing you can do to be happier
• How joining a club or values-based community can restore your sense of belonging
• The link between lifelong learning and growing happiness over time • Why transcending your ego through faith, philosophy, or awe brings clarity and peace
• How physical exercise reduces unhappiness (and why that matters more than you think)
• Why self-esteem alone won’t make you happy—but understanding your emotions might
• The three elements of a real happiness strategy (and how to build your own)
• How to move on from heartbreak (and why sad music really does help)
• And much more!

Welcome to Office Hours with Arthur Brooks
9 augustus 2025 · 1 min
Hi Friends, I’m Arthur Brooks. I’m a social scientist, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and a columnist at The Atlantic. I write, speak, and teach about the science of human happiness. This is a field that blends neuroscience, behavioral science, philosophy, and religion for insights on how all of us can live better, and be happier. Lees meer
This work is more important now than ever. Happiness has been falling, and unhappiness rising, marked by increases in depression, anxiety, loneliness, and polarization. My life’s work aims to address these problems head-on, and turn them into opportunities for growth and learning. I have dedicated the remainder of my life to lifting people up and bringing them together, in bonds of love and happiness, using science and ideas.
And that’s the purpose of my show, Office Hours. Each week, I will give you a glimpse into the cutting edge research on happiness, and explore how you can use it right now to improve your life—and share what you learn with those you love.
So join me in the movement to build a happier world–starting with you.
