What do you think will make you happy next year? According to Dan Gilbert’s research, your guess is probably wrong. Dan is a Harvard psychologist, bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness, and popular TED talker, and he and Adam discuss why it’s so difficult to make accurate predictions about our own future and how to figure out what actually makes us happy. The two also chat about Dan’s experience as a high school dropout-turned-professor, examine why small annoyances might hang around longer than major gripes, and determine the best way to end a conversation.FollowHost: Adam Grant (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adammgrant</a> | Website: <a href="http://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adamgrant.net/</a>)Guest: Daniel Gilbert (X: <a href="https://x.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fdantgilbert" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DanTGilbert</a>)&nbsp;Links<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/stumbling-on-happiness-daniel-gilbert/7854507" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stumbling on Happiness</a>Subscribe to TED&nbsp;Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted</a>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @TED</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXFocVNnRWFvUUcyWm1ib2psTkJ5RlVpOTRWZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuWkZaWEc3YzMwWkxubG9LdEJXMTBONkhOZ0VXSmtIaVFXZng3WmdEWVpUZ25BUFo1dk1jM21nanQxT2UzN25PQTNfLVVlMkw4ZVlwMUFTb05TRGJORHoxT3hoZjdfZFRQeDRBMlFIYkRJSEkwc3hhbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40tedtoks&v=9IFo0WjDvL4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @tedtoks</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted-conferences</a>Website:<a href="https://open.acast.com/networks/66e1e4bf9a7dcc160e617eef/shows/67572b3b2dd88df13220eb3b/episodes/www.ted.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ted.com</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit<a href="http://go.ted.com/BHTranscripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://ted.com/podcasts/rethinking-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/rethinking-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
