In this insightful conversation with Sonja Lyubomirsky, she shares the evolution of her interest in the science of happiness, meaning, and mattering, stemming from serendipitous encounters during her graduate studies at Stanford in 1989. Lyubomirsky reflects on the burgeoning research landscape in the field of well-being, which has expanded exponentially over the past decade, permeating various disciplines beyond experimental social psychology. Delving into the origins of positive psychology and its departure from the traditional focus on mental illness, Lyubomirsky discusses unexpected findings in her research, including instances where the pursuit of happiness can backfire, offering valuable insights into dosage effects and the effort-as-information heuristic. Through engaging dialogue, she sheds light on the complexities of happiness and underscores the importance of nuanced investigations in understanding the multifaceted nature of human well-being.
