  • Summary

  • Michelle and Oliver open the series with perhaps the biggest question of all – asking ‘What is Happiness?’.

    Serving as an introduction to the subject we hear from neuroscientist Ash Ranpura who lays out the science behind four key neurochemicals in the body and reveals why they’re crucial in helping us understand happiness. Victoria Milligan lays bare her tragic story of losing her partner and child in a boating accident and how eventually it led her to truly appreciate life. And finally, Michelle calls on one of the world’s leading happiness experts, who’s racked up millions of views for his TED talk and who also just happens to be her husband, Shawn Achor. How does Shawn define happiness? At the end of the episode Michelle talks listeners through a quick and easy gratitude exercise called The Doubler.
