This week we talk to one of the world's leading happiness, well-being and self-development authors Tal Ben-Shahar.

Tal is a former Harvard University psychology professor, best-selling author of several books including Happier, Being Happy & Choose the Life You Want. He is the founder of the Happiness Studies Institute, consults with Fortune 500 companies globally, and joins us from upstate New York.

In today's episode, we talk about what real happiness is all about. We talk about the little things we can do each day to become happier, how we can optimise our mental health (no matter where we start), and how to thrive during difficult times.
