Ep 42. Escaping the Myth of the Perfect Life with Professor Paul Dolan

In ‘Happy Ever After: Escaping the Myth of the Perfect Life' bestselling happiness expert Professor Paul Dolan draws on a variety of studies covering issues such as wellbeing, inequality and discrimination to bust the common myths about our sources of happiness. He shows that there can be many unexpected paths to lasting fulfilment. Some of these might involve not going into higher education, choosing not to marry, rewarding acts rooted in self-interest and caring a little less about living for ever.

By freeing ourselves from the myth of the perfect life, we might each find a life worth living.

We discuss:

-Does money make us happy?

-What's the link between happiness and success

-Why you might be better off choosing to be single

-The benefits of being child-free
