Hey everyone, welcome back to part two of the best of power hour 2022. In today's episode,

we're going to hear from the nation's favourite GP, Dr Chatterjee, minimalist Chris Lovett, Yale Professor Zoe Chance,

author and podcaster Bruce Daisley, and Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East.

There's so much in there. Let's dive in to part two. The new book, Happy Mind, Happy Life, offers 10 simple ways to feel great every day.

Now, I'm really interested to talk specifically about the idea of happiness.

Happiness is something I believe we all want.

I'm sure that we can all think of a time in our lives when we've been really happy

or a time when we've been deeply unhappy and we can probably list people, places,

moments that we can remember, maybe a photograph or a video, something where we've been really,

really happy. But the thing about happiness is, you know, it's defined as an emotional state. It's

characterized by a feeling of joy, contentment, satisfaction. It's not something that you just have,

and then that's it, you have it forever. You know, it constantly changes. So I think my first

question about happiness is if it is something

that's constantly changing, I think everybody wants it, I think everybody seeks it. Do you believe

that with all the work and the research that you've done, do you think it's possible for us to be

happy every single day? It depends on the definition of happiness. And I think happiness is one of those terms that we could say

it to ten different people and they'll interpret that in ten different ways so I do agree with you

that every one of us wants to feel happy as often as we can I think that's become a bit unfashionable these days because I think we, many of us feel

that happiness is having a smile on our face the whole time and many of us feel it's waiting

for everything to be perfect in our lives where we don't have any problems at work, everyone

treats us really nicely, the world is a certain way.

The problem is that's never going to happen, right?
