Daily Happy Episode 50: Steven Pinker's " When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows"...

Hey hey Rockstars,

Ever realize most of life runs on one big unspoken group project — and nobody gave us the manual?

That’s what I unpack in the latest episode of The Daily Happy, inspired by Steven Pinker’s new book When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life.

Pinker dives into the fascinating idea that so much of society runs on “common knowledge” — that endless loop of I know that you know that I know that you know.

It’s why we nod in meetings even when we’re not 100% sure what’s happening. It’s why trends catch on like wildfire. And it’s how we manage to coordinate, laugh, and create connection — even when we’re all improvising.

In this episode, I explore how we’re all figuring it out together — and how embracing that uncertainty can actually be freeing.
 A few minutes of laughter, light philosophy, and the reminder that everyone’s just doing their best — and that’s enough.

Because when everyone knows that everyone knows… maybe the real secret to life is smiling, learning, and enjoying the ride together.
