It's difficult to get a seat in Professor Arthur Brooks' happiness class at Harvard according to the WSJ. He explains how happiness is an effective productivity tool, and how leaders can avoid the hyperpolarizing political pitfalls being experienced by Disney and others. 

We discuss why people are so quick to throw around racist accusations for those that oppose Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, how Disney should have acted to avoid being in the center of the new Florida bill fight, and why the wide majority of Americans don't actually want the hyper-polarized state we're living in. 

Did you know 93% of Americans hate how divided we are? Brooks suggests if you stand up to the whiners and tell even your own tribe "no" there's a much bigger group waiting for you on the other side. 

He dispels the BS that disagreement is bad, and explains why Republicans say they are grateful for Democrats. 

If we don't shut down the extremists and enter an economic civil war, he gives cultural examples of what that will look like.
