BYOBlanket: Bring Your Own Blanket » PodcastsEpisode 2 – Happiness = Human FlourishingJoin Janan and Maria and their second guest, Caitlin Weekly, as they discuss happiness and everything around it–what does it mean to be happy, how to do it, what it is philosophically and practically. We also interviewed some Cubans during our last trip there to gain their perspective on happiness. We love their authentic responses! Build your blanket fort, crawl in, and enjoy the show. Or cuddle up in a blanket. Or do whatever you want while you listen to an episode all about happiness.
