Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
You know happiness when you feel it — but do you know what causes it, or how your happiness compares to that of friends and neighbors? We look at the study of what researchers call “subjective well-being” and the latest theories on what makes individuals and nations happy.
[Note to listeners: our previously-scheduled discussion on local theater is being rescheduled to a later date that will be posted on our website as soon as possible.]
Guests
- Carol Graham Senior fellow in economic studies, Brookings Institution; Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland
