"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 – and talks about how to design your life to help yourself. Our willpower is weak, but our 'design power' is strong. So, the skill is in designing our lives to recognise this fact - and in doing so make it easier to find peace and happiness.**Follow/message me:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/Twitter https://twitter.com/simonmundieAnd for the 'Mundie on Monday' newsletter - featuring three of the best Life Lessons from four years and 200 of these conversations - head to simonmundie.com (where you can also drop me an email)b4f345c8731d0089ca073d34cbaa3a097fbe9602Hosted on Acast.
