How to be happy

The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed

27-01-2022 • 24 mins

Everyone wants to be happy right?  But do we really know what happiness is?

Is it a feeling – brief, ephemeral?  Or is it a state where we can bask in its glow for awhile?

We think we know what brings us happiness - love, leisure, doing the things we want in life, and having the things we want.  But do they?  What actually contributes to happiness in life?

Guest:

Jim Davies is a cognitive scientist and Director of the Science of Imagination Lab at Carleton University in Ottawa.  He’s also the author of several books including “Being the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are” and the cohost of the award winning podcast “Minding The Brain.”
