Why Children Are Happier Than You

At some point, you stopped finding the world astonishing. Not because the world changed — but because your brain did. And the reason has nothing to do with innocence, responsibility, or the pressures of adult life. The real answer goes much deeper than that. In this video, you'll discover why the child's brain processes time, novelty, and experience in a fundamentally different way than yours — and what that means for your happiness right now. Drawing on research from neuroscientists Alison Gopnik, David Eagleman, psychologist Rick Hanson, and the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, you'll see exactly when and why the world stopped feeling like it used to — and what you can quietly do about it.
