  • Summary

  • Are you feeling happy today? California lawmakers want to know. A newly formed legislative committee is taking on an unusual public policy challenge: They want to make California residents happier. Our guest today, Mark Baldassare, recently testified before the committee and shared his insights into how Californians are feeling. Baldassare, who is Senior Fellow at the USC Price School’s Bedrosian Center on Governance and statewide survey director at the Public Policy Institute of California, has surveyed Californians on their happiness. We’ll discuss his research into happiness, his advice to lawmakers, and why policymakers should care about how happy – or unhappy – constituents feel.
