As we’re all wishing one another a “Happy New Year,” it seems like a good time to dwell on the whole concept of happiness. Is happiness hardwired? Does it depend on circumstance? Or on us? Can we will ourselves to happiness? And just what is happiness? Aired right after Christmas, this interview features Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (the famed psychology professor who wrote Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience) and Sonja Lyubomirsky, also a psych professor and author of The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want. We’ve embedded the radio interview immediately below, or you can get it via mp3 or iTunes.
