#54 Re-Defining Happiness with Professor Paul Dolan
CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing and themes of an adult nature.\nWhat really makes us happy? Is it a big house, lots of money, marriage and children? Not necessarily. Yet so many of us base what we do upon the \u2018stories\u2019 we tell ourselves of what we think should make us happy without paying attention to whether these things actually do make us happy day-to-day.\xa0Professor of behavioural science and guest on this week\u2019s podcast, Professor Paul Dolan,\xa0believes that happiness is subjective in every way and if we free ourselves from the myth of the perfect life we might each find a life that is worth living.\nWe discuss how happiness\xa0lies in the small stuff, not the big life-changing things. It is located in the things we do and the things we pay attention to \u2013 and how we feel about those experiences. Paul argues that the right balance of things that you find fun on one hand and fulfilling on the other, lead you to a happy life. He shares lots of practical tips that can help us all find more fulfilment and ultimately more happiness. I hope you enjoy this conversation.\nShow notes available at\xa0drchatterjee.com/54\nFollow me on instagram.com/drchatterjee/\nFollow me on facebook.com/DrChatterjee/\nFollow me on twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk\nDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
