Being happy, is surely what most of us want, right? We’re all on our own journeys to achieve it, but is there a real science behind it that we could all follow?

That’s what we discuss with Paul a behavioural scientist at LSE, who has been called the Professor of Happiness having written books including Happiness by Design” and “Happy Ever After”.  Paul’s work focuses on the measurement of happiness, its causes and consequences  and the implications for public policy. He was appointed Chief Academic Advisor to the UK Government Economic Service on Economic appraisal aka he advises governments on behavioural science and wrote the questions that are being used to monitor happiness in the UK.

We explore how finding the one, having more money, education and career success is in fact not the route to happiness and why. How single, childfree women are happiest and actually how it is the balance of purpose and pleasure is of utmost importance, when it comes to happiness.

MINAMI

I am a huge believer in the importance of Omega 3 for our health, and if you do not consume oily fish, you should be thinking about taking a supplement to avoid deficiency of long chain fatty acids.

MINAMI® is one of the highest-concentrated and pure Omega-3s available in the market, of 90-95% per capsule, they are free from solvents and fillers and they have a low environmental impact, sourcing sustainable fish species from the unpolluted waters of the south pacific
