#072 - Languishing with Corey Keyes

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Ryan Moyer speaks with sociologist Corey Keyes about his new book, Languishing: How to Feel Alive Again in a World That Wears Us Down.

They discuss the essence of languishing, what most people misunderstand about living a flourishing life, the costs of seeking pleasure, the value of cultivating personal growth, the key ingredients to meaningful social connection, and how finding meaning can help us discover long term well-being.

Why Do We Do That? is a psychology podcast that deconstructs human behavior from the perspectives of social scientists, psychologists, and others that use applied psychology in their work.
