Are Women Really Less Happy Than Men? | No Stupid Questions | Episode 97

Why are women unhappier than men? Research shows that women measure higher for anxiety, depression, sadness, loneliness, and anger than men. They’re also unhappier and less satisfied with many aspects of their lives - and the pandemic has only made it worse.
So, what can we do to move the needle? What can we learn from the best countries for women? And is it better to be happy or to be good?
Hosts Stephen J. Dubner and Angela Duckworth discuss these topics and more - including the role of rumination - in this episode of No Stupid Questions from Freakonomics Radio Network.
This episode was originally published May 1, 2022.

ABOUT NO STUPID QUESTIONS:
Stephen J. Dubner (co-author of the Freakonomics books) and research psychologist Angela Duckworth (author of Grit) really like to ask people questions, and came to believe there’s no such thing as a stupid one. So they made a podcast where they can ask each other as many “stupid questions” as they want.
