In this podcast, Nick takes us through his article 'Paradoxes and the pursuit of happiness'. He unravels how our relentless pursuit of material success, without clearly articulating our goals, can ultimately lead us to a hollow sense of happiness. Additionally, he opens our eyes to the obscured realities of New Zealand, where the country is often portrayed as a “negative, wet, whiny, inward-looking country”. He delves into his aptly named article 'No, really - the grass is not always greener'.

Make sure you stay tuned until the very end of this episode to hear about his GAIA tour in Germany and Sweden and a very captivating, personal story.
