Episode 293: The Root of Happiness with Stephanie Harrison
In this episode, our Local Peace Economy coordinator Marie Goodwin speaks with Stephanie Harrison, author of A New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong.

But the Peace Economy knows that happiness is something you experience while giving your gifts to others, establishing an interconnected net of interdependence with your community.
