Picks of the week
The Happiness Lab x Sesame Street
Widely available, episodes weekly from Monday
If The Happiness Lab – a podcast by Laurie Santos, the professor behind Yale’s happiness courses – isn’t life-enhancing enough, here comes a special collaboration with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organisation trying to make kids smarter, stronger and kinder. Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and Grover tackle problems with sparkly socks, the ups and downs of a typical day and the magic of gratitude – there are lessons for all ages. Hannah Verdier
