A Harvard professor on how to elevate everyday activities in order to lift your mood, improve your relationships and rise to new challenges.


Michael Norton is the Harold M. Brierley Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to introduce rituals into your workplace without falling back on cliché (like trust falls)
