You might think Hollywood celebrities are happier than the rest of us, but are they really? Josh Thomas doesn’t think so.
Josh is a wildly funny and successful comedian, known for creating one of Australia’s best comedy dramas Please Like Me, which he wrote based on his own life.
In this chat, he talks about success, creativity, being diagnosed with autism and ADHD as an adult, and what living in Hollywood has taught him about happiness.

Josh Thomas On Why Hollywood Is A Recipe For Misery

What do we mean when we talk about happiness? And, is there a genuine way to experience more of it, especially in a time where it feels so flippant or out of reach?
These are the questions we wanted to ask happiness expert Dr Tim Sharp (he's literally Dr Happy). And even though he specialises in positive psychology, Dr Happy knows how difficult it is to feel joy when the state of the world is so ugly.
So, what can he tell us about our expectations of happiness? Is it a worthy pursuit, or are we asking the wrong question on this podcast?
