Speaking on Friday’s episode of Today, 58-year-old Hoda and her co-host Jenna Bush Hager, 40, discussed the results of a new study on happiness.
The fourth-hour presenter shared some of her tips for staying on the sunny side of life with the viewers, beginning: “Someone said you only need three things to be happy.”
Hoda recited: “Someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to.”
She explained that a lack of the latter two might explain why some lose their happiness in life.
Amid her alleged feud with Savannah, 50, Hoda said; “Sometimes, in retirement, people feel like they don’t have a direction. They feel kind of lost.
“So something to do could be a million different things — even if it’s visiting your neighbor. That’s something to do.”
Jenna chimed in: “I feel like there’s a difference between the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of joy.”
Back in 2015, Hoda shared her other secrets for happiness, which included journaling prompts, exercise, meditation, and random acts of kindness.

MOOD FOR A FEUD?
However, insiders have reported that all is not happy behind the scenes of Today.
A source close to production exclusively told The US Sun in June that despite their sunny dispositions toward each other on-screen, Savannah and Hoda secretly “can’t stand each other.”
Today show fans have begun speculating if Savannah, who has recently been out on vacation, might quit the morning show for good amid the alleged feud.
Beyond that, The US Sun’s source has claimed that Savannah “thinks of herself as a real news person,” while Hoda is seen as “the lightweight that drank wine with Kathy Lee Gifford.”
A NEW CHAPTER
On Friday’s episode, Hoda also revealed that she has a brand new project in the works.
She’s set to narrate an audiobook edition of the beloved children’s book, Goodnight Moon.
Fans can listen to Hoda read the story when the new audio version of the title comes out on September 13.
Speaking ahead of the release, Hoda said: “When I first saw Goodnight Moon and read it, I was like, ‘What is it about this book that is captivating to kids?’
“I realized it’s everything. It’s a child’s room, it’s a child’s brain, and it’s the calming effect that words on a page can have.”
