About this listen

Does doing things for other people make you happier? Michelle and Oliver speak to a behemoth in the world of Happiness to find out, and that’s Gretchen Rubin. Author of several best sellers on the subject she is a big believer in acts of kindness, as long as it’s not random! We also hear from Dr Oliver Scott Curry at the University of Oxford who’s studied the positive impact of acts of kindness.

And finally Michelle and Oliver meet Mo Gawdat. Once the Chief Business Officer for Google X, he turned his hand to making other people happy after losing his son Ali. He reckons he’s come up with the true answer to happiness, in the form of an equation. At the end of the episode Michelle takes listeners through a final short exercise involving a simple act of kindness that just might make them happier.
