This podcast aims to explore what happiness is and what lies beyond it, in 5 small bite-size pieces. Spoiler alert, it’s not all about happiness, but living fully with purpose and meaning. Happiness is transient and fickle. The podcast is exploratory in nature, providing a playful curiosity rather than instruction or advice. It uses concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a type of therapeutic modality, although the most important aspect is reflecting on the common human experience. Humans don’t seem to be engineered for happiness, but they are engineered for experiences of all variations. Humans are more than their minds tell them.

Importantly, these podcasts are not intended to be used as a replacement for counselling, therapy, or medical intervention for those who might need it. Rather, the series aims to provide a stimulus to reflect and ponder with curiosity.
