What if education, success, marriage, kids and health weren't the answers to happiness we're sold? What if you could find your own path?
Paul Dolan is Professor of Behavioural Science at the LSE. During
his time as a visiting scholar at Princeton, he worked closely with
Daniel Kahneman who calls him 'a star'. Dolan focuses on developing
measures of happiness and subjective wellbeing that can be used by
policymakers and by individuals looking to be happier.
Among various other roles, he is a member of the US National
Academy of Sciences Panel on measuring national well-being, a
member of the National Wellbeing Advisory Forum for the Office for
National Statistics in the UK, and is Chief Academic Advisor to the
UK Government on how policymakers should value the impact of goods
that are hard to measure, like health and education. His debut,
Happiness by Design, was a Sunday Times bestseller and Waterstones
non-fiction book of the month.

instead on maximising what actually delivers joy . . . and most of
us would benefit from listening to him
