Why Happiness Experts Still Struggle to Be Happy with Dr. Ethan Kross

Dr. Laurie Santos and psychologist Ethan Kross have a live conversation at SXSW about the gap between knowing what makes us happier and actually doing it. Even happiness experts don't always follow their own advice—they get stuck in rumination, struggle to form habits, and fail to apply emotional tools when they need them most. They explore psychological biases that create this knowing-doing gap and present science-backed strategies for managing difficult emotions, building better habits, and turning insight into action.
