I've also never laughed so hard with a guest as I did with him after we'd stopped recording - a conversation that neither of us are ready to put out into the world yet! What we did record was equally enlightening, fun and practical. We talk about: - The things on Twitter that make Adrian and me cringe - True happiness and the hedonic treadmill - Stickers, sweets and certificates as rewards - Teacher wellbeing - systemic change vs personal responsibility - The one thing Adrian would change about primary schools - & more Enjoy the episode.

If happiness is to be had, it must be studied. Tal Ben-Shahar acted on this belief when he created the Master's of Arts in Happiness Studies in partnership with Centenary University, through which students of eighty-five nationalities learn how to achieve well-being and how to impact others' flourishing. In this episode, Tal joins Grant to discuss the study of happiness in an academic setting. They ask: How successful are the liberal arts in teaching students how to be happy? What does religion have to offer in the conversation on happiness? What is the ideal profile for the teacher - or student - of a happiness course? And, is happiness the missing key to uniting the University?

‘Lasting Happiness’ author Marc Hoy talks to Paul about his recipe for contentment, how to discover purpose and meaning; how the smallest steps can create positive change, and what mastering life means to him. ABOUT THE GUEST: Marc Hoy Marc Hoy is the author of his new book LASTING HAPPINESS. Marc is a happiness expert, but he came by it at great cost and through unthinkable hardship. When Marc says: “What is happiness? Where does it come from, and how do you get it?” you should know it’s a question he’s had the time to consider…a LOT of time to consider. In 1995 Marc returned from an overnight business trip to his home in Thailand to find a panicked house guest and a dead person on the floor between them. His choices: go immediately to the police and turn his friend in for the murder he’d committed or help his friend cover up the murder and pray it was never discovered. Marc made the wrong decision and spent 5 years in Thailand’s most notorious prison with death and decay surrounding him, his own well-being in constant peril, and happiness an elusive emotion of the past – one he’d surely never experience again. But he did. From the depths of despair, bit-by-bit, he created his own happiness – a lasting happiness – and it saw him through the most difficult, painful period of his entire life. And now he’s ready to share the things he learned. LASTING HAPPINESS is a field guide for the rest of us as we go through life trying to find our own happiness.

The fast pass of work and long hours in the office can have a huge affect on all aspects of your life. And this is exactly what my guest today, Stacey Clare, discovered after spending years working late and not thinking about the food she was putting into her body or how she was treating herself. But that all changed after the birth of her first baby. Having a baby is a joyful moment, a journey where a woman becomes a mother. And as joyful as it was for Stacey to have her first child, it was also full of complications that lead to her baby being born at 32 weeks and only weighing 1.38kgs. The poor health of her baby meant that Stacey needed to do something that no parent should have to do. A month after bringing her baby home from the hospital, she found him not breathing in his cot. A heart wrenching sight for any parent to see. Stacey had to put her fingers around his little chest and push down, performing CPR on him to bring life back to his little body - Which, thankfully, she did. But through all this, Stacey knew that she needed to change her ways by focussing on her health and the food she puts into her body, so she could raise her baby boy in a healthy way. Stacey was so passionate about this change in her life that she dove deeper and studied nutrition, started her company Stacey Clare – A Healthy Mum, and is now a Health and Nutrition coach helping other mothers and families on their health journey. We also discus something that I really loved - Family Gratitude Journal that Stacey does each evening at the dinner table with her family. It is something that I will be starting at our dinner table too. The Skype connection is a little robotic in parts, but stay with it as Stacey is a bundle of joy that is teaching happiness through food, one plate at a time. I hope you enjoy x

Todays guest is the kind of person that I haven't had on the show since way back on episode 18, a teacher. And not an entrepreneural ex-teacher, but one that is still on a daily basis going to school and teaching his pupils history. Seems like a normal teacher? Well consider how many teachers you have had in your life that also focused on happiness? Yeah, I can't think of more than….well none to be honest. He believes that discussing happiness with sixth graders will help them understand the path to well-being and how to create habits that nurture it. They will be laying a foundation for lifelong resilience, contentment and, ultimately, success in whatever endeavors they pursue. So with that in mind, he takes a few minutes each morning to ask his students to consider something they're grateful for, happy about or that makes them feel good. And now with his new book “Teaching Happiness and Innovation” he goes even deeper into the world happiness, with practical exercises that we can all do to increase our well being and….well be happy. So was this a focus that he has always had in his life, or did he suddenly realise one day that there was a different way of teaching? And what has he found to be the biggest obstacle with kids to achieving this state of mind? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Mike Ferry
Teaching Happiness and Innovation with Mike Ferry In Mike's new book, Teaching Happiness and Innovation, he shows how we can form habits that will make us happier and more successful. We can also become more creative with practice, and he talks about how to do that. Who doesn't want to be happier, more successful, and more creative? "In Teaching Happiness and Innovation, Ferry collects the best of positive psychology research, attempting to find ways to communicate these revolutionary findings and make them applicable to the challenges in our schools and society. We need more people like Ferry who find ways of sharing this invaluable message: scientifically, happiness can be a choice." - Shawn Anchor, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage For more information visit: http://www.happinessandinnovation.com/
