10% Happier
About this episode

October 10th is World Mental Health Day - and to mark the event, Yale professor Dr Laurie Santos of The Happiness Lab podcast has assembled a crew of fellow hosts from the top wellness shows, a group we're calling The Titans of Happiness.   

Dr Joy Harden Bradford is a clinical psychologist and host of the podcast Therapy for Black Girls.

Gretchen Rubin is the OG of wellbeing experts. She's written many best-selling happiness books - most recently Life in Five Senses and hosts Happier with Gretchen Rubin

Dan Harris was a TV news anchor who - after having a panic attack live on air - promoted mindfulness meditation practices on his hit show 10% Happier

And since she wanted this to be an extra special episode, Dr Laurie invited one extra, extra special guest, Sesame Street's Elmo. Elmo's only three and half, so Samantha Maltin (Chief Branding and Marketing Officer at Sesame Workshop) came along with him.
