I’m super excited today to chat with fellow happiness researcher, Katie Young. Katie is a JD/PHD and current professor at UMASS Amherst. After experiencing law school unhappiness herself and witnessing countless others go through law school unhappy, Katie decided to do some research on her own. Katie conducted a study of over 1000 law school students to learn more about the unhappiness epidemic among law students. On today’s episode she shares a lot of her findings on reasons why we are unhappy but also offers solutions on how we can be happier. Whether you are a law student, aspiring law student, or experience lawyer, there is something to take away from this episode, enjoy!
