Hard to get away from the happiness movement right now. That’s not such a bad thing – but there is something of a glut of books and blogs and websites on happiness.
So let me point to one that rises above the crowd – Tim Sharp also known as Dr Happy. Part of Tim’s wisdom comes from his different experiences in thinking about and working with the topic. He’s an academic, he’s a clinical psychologist, he’s a business coach, he’s an expert on positive psychology, he’s a communicator and he regularly appears on radio and TV.

And of course, the occasional podcast. In this one (and with apologies for the occasionally poor sound quality) he talks about:

• how an insight about how the absence of depression doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness started it all
• Whether or not you ‘need’ to have happiness in your workplaces to be effective
• One small but critical thing you can do to make a difference to your happiness – and those around you.
• The role of mindfulness in increasing happiness

You can learn more about Tim’s work at TheHappinessInstitute.com and follow him on Twitter at @DrHappy
