Happiness is not only – or even – about monumental life events but about the small, daily experiences that bring you happiness. By implementing a more evidence-based approach to your daily life, you can cultivate a lasting sense of happiness.In this episode, Paul discusses the difference between evaluations of overall happiness or life satisfaction and experiences of happiness on a moment-to-moment basis, and makes a strong case for focussing on the latter as we go about lives.

Paul's ambition in creating GET HAPPIER goes well beyond simply offering a free copy and ending it there. He intends to foster a community of individuals who can make society happier using rigorous and relevant evidence with minimal effort. Subscribe to Paul's Substack, where he'll share resources and insights so that – as individuals and citizens, employees and employers, parents and policy-makers – we can all GET HAPPIER.
