This week on The Daily Beat: We look into everything you need to know behind the science of happiness.

Today on the Daily Beat, Wednesday August 5, 2015: We hear part 3 of our interview with Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside. Originally from Russia, she received her A.B., summa cum laude, from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in Social/Personality Psychology from Stanford University.

Lyubomirsky has focused on developing a science of human happiness. To this end, her research addresses three critical questions:

1) What makes people happy?
2) Is happiness a good thing?
3) How can we make people happier still?

She has been conducting research on happiness for 23 years and has published widely in the area.
