Brené with Dr. Laurie Santos on Creating Meaningful Connection at Work

Hi, everyone. I'm Brene Brown, and this is Dare to Lead. Before we jump into this episode, I wanna tell you about a very special event that we have coming up. Atlas of the Heart is here. Oh my god. I cannot even actually believe it happened. It's its own little miracle, I have to say. We're not doing a traditional book tour because of pandemic and COVID safety reasons. But we are launching the book with a virtual event on Thursday, December 2 at 8PM Eastern Standard Time. We're partnering with a 150 independent bookstores within The US and Canada to bring you the event. Guess who's interviewing me? This is just like a little miracle. You know her from the Dare to Lead podcast and hopefully her book, The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker. And so it's going to be the two of us, and we're gonna go through Atlas. And she's gonna ask me really hard questions. I've already anticipated this. So I'm rereading the book because I think maybe it's like maybe it's like labor. I blocked it. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. You can find out all the details, including the link to register on the podcast page for this episode, and I hope you'll join us. It's gonna be, I think, an important evening, and I think we'll talk about things that matter in our lives. The virtual event's only available in The US and Canada.

Actually, a couple of the podcast episodes planned so that we can all dive into the work together and explore. We're bringing the sisters. Ashley and Barrett will be in the podcast house. Okay. On today's podcast. So I just did a podcast with doctor Lori Santos. She's a professor of psychology and the head of Silliman Residential College at Yale University. She's also the host of the popular podcast, The Happiness Lab. So I just did a podcast with her that's gonna release on her podcast in January on Atlas of the Heart. And the second we hung up on the podcast, I looked at Barrett and Laura, and I was like, oh my god. I've gotta talk to her. I wanna talk to her about what's going on with college students these days. I'm seeing so much struggle. I wanna talk to her about the fact that so many of us are going to be back at work in person after the new year. And so we invited her, and she said yes. And we jumped on and did this podcast. And I can't even believe how great it was. You know, she teaches a class at Yale that is the most popular course in three hundred years at Yale. It's a course on flourishing, the good life, really empirically based approaches to making our lives better, and she shares …
