Listen now
Description
We continue our foray into the surprisingly complex world of happiness, with extracts from Derren Brown’s 2016 book ‘Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine’ to guide us through, along with host Antony’s interjections and musings. In this part, we look at a wide range of sub-topics including more on the history of happiness, a look at the Stoics and Marcus Aurelius and their influence on Cognitive-Behavioural and Life Coaching, virtue (signalling), desire, fate, judgement, the psychology of relationships and a few other things along the way. Antony also discovers his new favourite phrase- ‘psychological robustness’. Part 3 will follow next month   I hope you enjoy the show! If so, please subscribe, like, share etc...
