Show Notes

Happiness - We are all trying to find it or work for it, yet it is something quite intangible and difficult to define, and it can mean something completely different for two different people. In this episode of the Chief Psychology Officer. Amanda is being interviewed by our new podcast host Kristian and we explore the topic of Happiness: what it is, what does science say about it, and what can we do to be closer to feeling happy?
