Guest: Paula Poundstone, Author of “The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness”
Comedian Paula Poundstone has a new book. It took nearly a decade to write, because she wasn’t just writing, she was experimenting with how to find happiness. In the name of science, she sweat a lot, threw stuff away, got a Twitter account, drove a Lamborghini, took swing dancing lessons, meditated, volunteered at a nursing home and hugged a lot of strangers. And now the rest of us can cheat by using her field notes, helpfully compiled in her book, “The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness.”
