Next Episode: Bonus: Gretchen Rubin and Kelly Corrigan Talk About Happiness, Relationships, and More

We talk about why it’s valuable, not frivolous, to be polite in our
everyday interactions. We explore the different types of rewards and recognition
that people find most satisfying, such as praise-seekers and trophy-hunters, and we
also tackle the distinction between “aims” and “goals.”
