ICR260: Liz Zeidler, Happy City

My guest on the show today is founder of a charity which exists to get people talking, thinking and moving towards what really matters.

Liz Zeidler is chief executive of Happy City. Her mission is to improve lives, our society and our planet through an increased focus on happiness and wellbeing.

This may all sound sweet and fluffy but that is only because what we mean by ‘happiness’ has been corrupted. Happy City wants to reclaim happiness from commercial triviality and make it a guiding, radical principle for society.

In this episode of the podcast, I chat to Liz about the difference between short-term and long-term happiness, who should take responsibility for our wellbeing, how to measure happiness, the correlation between income and happiness, and much more.
