“I really love the podcast overall. That’s why I’m so disappointed in Dr. Laurie’s choice (or maybe Pushkin/Yale’s choice) to cross-post the “bonus” episode from Oprah. Arthur Brook’s perspective on multiple concepts is completely antithetical to the Happiness Lab’s mission. Brooks waves away concerns about unrealistic expectations among young people and talks about how it’s completely normal and expected for students at a prestigious institution like Harvard to have anxiety. Isn’t this the exact kind of thing Dr. Laurie was trying to combat with her original class? There were several other examples of what essentially amounted to Brooks and Oprah praising the “grindset” mentality. And then there was that weird condescending part about how one of the problems with young people today is that they don’t subscribe to any kind of faith tradition. I always love the discussions between Dr. Laurie and other experts and find the conversations to be appropriately nuanced, but this episode was a complete disaster and never should have passed quality control.”
