Can we define happiness simply as an algebraic equation with the feeling of happiness on one side and a variety of other variables on the other?

In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we continue the conversation with Dr. Paul Dolan about the determinants of happiness, why it's so challenging to measure it, the midlife crisis phenomenon, the opportunity costs of attention, exploring whether money truly makes you happy, and understanding social narratives and expectations.
