"Happiness is about pleasure and purpose. the key is to get that balance right"This bitesize episode is all about setting up our lives for happiness. Paul Dolan - professor of Behavioural Science at LSE and author of the excellent book Happiness by Design - says happiness is about striking a balance between pleasure and purpose. He shares some great examples of how to find both β and talks about how to design your life to help yourself. Our willpower is weak, but our 'design power' is strong.
