SALT LAKE CITY, UT (kuer) - What would it take to make you truly happy? Love? Money? Success? If those are your answers, you may be looking in all the wrong places. Richard Davidson is among the world's leading brain researchers and he says that compassion and kindness and yes, happiness are all skills that can be enhanced with practice. Davidson was in Utah earlier this year. He joined Doug to explain what the Dalai Lama's brain can teach us about being happy. (Rebroadcast)
