We would all like to be a bit happier, but sometimes we make mistakes about what will and will not make us feel better. Paul Dolan, a Professor of Behavioural Science at the LSE hosts this 10 x 10 series as he seeks to summarise what the science of happiness tells us about how to be happy in ten episodes. The series is entitled GET HAPPIER. Each letter of those two words is the first letter of the title of each episode.     GET HAPPIER is a not self-help series. There are too many of those already out there and they’re mostly useless. If one of them worked, there wouldn’t be the need for anymore. This is a guide through the evidence on the causes and consequences of happiness that will help you navigate your own way towards being happier without some self-proclaimed happiness guru telling you what to do. There is no one size fits all approach to being happier but there are some important lessons we can all learn – and that I continue to learn – about happiness.     Pauls ambition in creating GET HAPPIER goes well beyond simply offering a free copy and ending it there. He intends to foster a community of individuals who can make society happier using rigorous and relevant evidence with minimal effort. Subscribe to Paul's Substack, where he'll share resources and insights so that – as individuals and citizens, employees and employers, parents and policy-makers – we can all GET HAPPIER.
