Happiness Hides
Found poetry for April 20, 2022 National Poetry Month Poetry Challenge
“We all think we know what will make us happy: more money. A better job. Love. But psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky says happiness doesn’t necessarily work like that. This week, we explore why happiness often slips through our fingers, and how to savor — and stretch out — our joys,” is the Hidden Brain topic in “You 2.0 Where Happiness Hides.”
Here is some found poetry with poems taken from the words in this podcast.
