The Rich Roll Podcast

Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and one of the world's leading authorities on human happiness.

This conversation explores what he calls a psychogenic epidemic — a crisis of meaning driven by the very technology we can't put down. We discuss the three macronutrients of happiness, why our brains have been rewired to miss what matters most, the striver's curse, and an ancient escape plan for modern life.

Things get personal when he diagnoses my happiness on a scale of one to ten. The results are humbling.

I love this man. Take notes for this one. Enjoy!

Simon Hill is a nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of “The Proof” podcast.

We dig into the newly released U.S. Dietary Guidelines: what changed, what the evidence actually supports, and how the final document diverged from the advisory committee's recommendations.

The fine print reveals a factual error a first-year nutrition student would catch, and a notable omission that raises serious questions about how these guidelines were made.

Simon is a trusted guide through difficult terrain. Enjoy!

Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, physician, associate professor at the University of Washington, and the author of “The Stimulated Mind.”

I came into this one with a lot on my mind. My mother has Alzheimer's, and for two years I've been watching this disease dismantle someone I love. What Tommy gave me was something I didn't expect: not more cause for fear, but a genuine roadmap. Cognitive decline is not inevitable. The levers of change are already in our hands.

This one is personal. I hope it lands that way for you, too.

Bill Burnett and Dave Evans created perhaps the most popular course at Stanford, "Designing Your Life," and co-authored the book "How to Live a Meaningful Life."

This conversation explores the intersection of product design and personal development. We discuss the loneliness epidemic, why there is no best self, curiosity as the gateway drug to wonder, the transactional world versus the flow world, and why the wisest people across every tradition all arrive at the same conclusion.

This one broke me open in the best way possible. Enjoy!

This is my first solo episode — and honestly, out of my comfort zone. Which is exactly why I needed to do it.

The recent Channel 5 interview between Shia LaBeouf and Andrew Callaghan went wildly viral. Most of the discourse has been voyeuristic or vilifying. I wanted to do something different and use it as a lens to examine what addiction actually looks like in real time.

As a recovering alcoholic, I know this territory. The grandiosity. The denial. The theater of contrition without any contrary action to back it up.

This is a serious conversation about relapse, accountability, and what real change actually requires, including what it looked like in my own life.
