    We all love that feeling of happiness, and more often than not, we don't want that feeling to stop. Using the feel-good hit from Justin Timberlake 'CAN'T STOP THE FEELING!', we dive into the deep questions about happiness and how we might be able to find more of it. To help us out, we're joined this week by happiness expert Dr Tim Sharp (aka Dr Happy) who has some surprising answers on what happiness actually is, and why it's perhaps a little unrealistic to never expect this feeling to stop.
