TRIGGER WARNING: early in the episode we talk about a termination for medical reasons of a much wanted pregnancy and there is discussion of  another bereavement.

Susan Mathew and I discuss Mo Gawdat's Solve for Happy  and explore the happiness equation.  Among other things we explore whether the right self help book at the wrong time can be a thing, lessons we have both learned from this book and whether recommending bibliotherapy books to patients is something we should be doing more often.

We talk about totems, happy lists, time out and little strategies we can implement in our day to day lives to boost happiness


Susan also refers to the brilliant book The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters which can be found here https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/
