Are stupid people happier?

In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck tackle the age-old question of whether there's a connection between intelligence and happiness, exploring the idea that "ignorance is bliss." They dive into various studies and psychological theories, including positive psychology and acceptance and commitment therapy, while trying to figure out if smart people are actually less happy than their less intellectual counterparts. The hosts also share a fascinating listener email about how TV crime shows like CSI completely misrepresent real-life forensic work, complete with a dramatic true story of carjacking and justice.
