The Science of Happiness Despite our Circumstances, with NYU Clinical Instructor, Dan Lerner

What does it mean to lead a happy life and to achieve a state of well being despite our external circumstances?

In this holiday episode of the pregnantish podcast, Daniel Lerner, co-instructor of NYU’s most popular elective course “The Science of Happiness” explores what it means to live a truly fulfilling life - especially in the face of life’s challenges.

According to Dan, the goal isn’t always to feel “happy” but to find meaning, build resilience and embrace a new perspective on stress. He introduces the concept of ‘post traumatic growth’, revealing how life’s most difficult moments can spark profound personal transformation and why, even if we wouldn’t wish our tough circumstances on others, we can be positively impacted by the way we navigate and grow from these challenges. 

This inspiring and informative conversation offers hope, actionable insights, and a fresh take on navigating the ups and downs of family-building journeys and other non-linear grief chapters.
