About this listen

Freedom to Be Happy explores the association between individual happiness and group performance at work. The book introduces happiness philosophers, reviews the evidence, and interviews practitioners on the frontline who are building thriving work cultures.

The book uses data, neuroscience, quantum physics, and academic research in a really accessible, unique, fun, and human way.

Subjects include money and happiness, motivation, happiness, HR, marketing, employee happiness, happiness philosophy, the Stoics, the history of happiness, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, equality, and the future of work.

Research interviews for this book are live on the Happiness and Humans podcast.

The objective of this book is to empower the listener to make a very strong case that the happiness of human beings is a very serious business metric.

Critic reviews

"Matt is a rare talent. Truly putting happiness at the forefront of everything he does, be it work and play, demonstrates why he is such an outlier. His focus on the importance of human happiness backed up by neuroscience helps people untap the very best in themselves and their companies. I love partnering with Matt for that very reason – a true beacon of light for all aspiring and established CEOs, team leaders and employees alike." (Nicola Pearcey, president of UK and Europe Lionsgate)

"Matt is an authentic human who calls it as it is and is super curious. He endeavours to make big ripples of change and challenge the established ways of thinking and social norms. He helps to ensure everyone is informed, updated and thinking two steps ahead. I know this book will help us all to challenge our thinking around workplace engagement. Well done Matt!" (Margot Slattery, Sodexo global chief diversity and inclusion officer)
