HBR IdeaCast Live with Arthur C. Brooks

Imagine your life as a startup. How would you lead it to be most successful?

That’s the question at the heart of The Happiness Files—a collection of enlightening, practical essays by Arthur C. Brooks, the bestselling author and globally recognized voice on living a meaningful life. Through his columns in The Atlantic and his books From Strength to Strength and Build the Life You Want (with Oprah Winfrey), Brooks has inspired millions with his blend of wisdom and real-world guidance.

His answer? Manage your life to create the most valuable rewards: love, enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning—in other words, happiness.
