Welcome to Greener: The Psychology of Happy. I'm Morgan, and I've spent years studying what makes people feel alive – not just happy in that narrow, feel-good way, but experiencing the full scope of emotions that make us human.

We live in a world of emotional AstroTurf. Perfect green lawns that look amazing from a distance but are obviously fake when you get up close. "Fake it ‘til you make it" might look good online, but it doesn't work for true happiness when nobody is looking.

In each episode, we'll explore the science behind true vitality. We'll discover why happiness isn't one perfect emotion but a rich ecosystem of feelings. We'll talk about how authenticity creates energy you can’t fake, and why the signs of life in your emotional landscape might look nothing like what you expected.

This isn't about positive thinking or emotional bypassing. This is about understanding how your brain actually works – and learning to cultivate the kind of authentic life that feels genuinely alive.

This is where curious minds get down and dirty.
