Lionel Page is a professor at the University of Queensland and an author.
Lionel is one of my favourite writers so I had to bring him on to uncover the invisible psychology which drives our happiness.

Why does persistent happiness remain so elusive, and what shifts can help us build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with it?
Expect to learn what everyone gets wrong when thinking about happiness, the most important mechanisms that drive our wellbeing, how the role of comparison on social media contributes to overall happiness, why evolution didn’t design us with the ability to simply feel greater and greater satisfaction, the role of a meaningful life, why we overestimate the importance of our future success and much more...
