[bright music] Pushkin. [gentle music] Hello, and welcome to a special edition of The Happiness Lab Podcast. I hope all my listeners who celebrate had a happy Thanksgiving, but the day I really look forward to each November is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Here at The Happiness Lab, we tend to make a big deal out of Giving Tuesday. Every year, we share a special episode that explores why doing good for others is super good for our own happiness.
