Young adults aren't as happy as they used to be. I spoke with The New York Times about new research from the Global Flourishing Study, which shows that young people today are struggling more than ever—with their mental health, social connections, sense of purpose, and overall well-being.
We used to think of young adulthood as one of the happiest times of life, but that's no longer the case in a lot of Western countries like the US and the UK.
