Available for over a year
For Mental Health Awareness Week, Shaun chats to neuroscientist, stand-up comedian and author Dean Burnett on his second book, The Happy Brain and wonders whether some human brains can be happier than others. In The Happy Brain, Dean investigates the science of happiness or whether such a thing exists. He delves into our most private selves to investigate what causes happiness, where it comes from, and why we are so desperate to hang onto it. The questions he raises are ones we so rarely ask today, but they address a major part of what it means to be a modern-day human.
