Show Notes

This week, we continue our discussion of the 2019 edition of the World Happiness Report. How has the rise in screen-time and social media contributed to the decrease in happiness in the U.S.? What are the effects of Big Data on well-being? Why is there so much addiction in the U.S. and how has it driven unhappiness?
