A lockdown dinner - a moment of mundane happiness


Listen Later

Despite being chronically ill, Nola preserved a beautiful memory of the lockdown dinner organised by her family, which turned out to be a really special ocasion. 

DISCUSSION

We discuss the concept of happiness. How has this been influenced by the last year, when our habits were modified and our expectations changed? 

I share a little about Zygmunt Bauman, a sociologist who argued that in 'liquid modernity', people's behaviours change, and their concept of happiness can be influenced. 

RECOMMENDATION

This week's recommendation is Babette's Feast, a perfect example of magic in the mundane.
