Summary
In this five-part series, US happiness expert and positive psychologist Michelle Gielan and British journalist and author Oliver Burkeman explore ways to become truly happier, backed up by scientific evidence. Bringing their own unique and counter-balanced personalities to proceedings they ask questions such as: what is happiness? Can we make ourselves happier? And why is everyone talking about mindfulness?
Michelle and Oliver tackle these questions with the help of some of the world’s leading experts on the subjects and at the end of each episode, Michelle leads the listener through a quick and easy practical exercise that has been shown to increase happiness. Listeners will be left with a genuine takeaway from each episode and encouraged to explore the topics further and take their own steps towards a happier life.

Handy tips
The tips they give in each episode are handy. More than anything it's interesting to hear different people's perspectives. I liked hearing the different things people went through and their coping mechanisms. It was rather inspiring.

Thought provoking
Enjoyed the themed episodes and short exercises at the end of each segment. Particularly fascinated by some of the research and statistics. Most enjoyable episode was no.4 on Meditation 🙏

Great overview
While I read books from few authors that feature in the program, the introduction nicely summarised their views and presented new ones.
I also liked the format: two very knowledgeable presenters discussing the happiness with various authors of books on happiness.
Good time spent: gave me ideas what else to read about the topic.
