Happy as can be? Meik Wiking, CEO of The Happiness Research Institute

Even though happiness is one of the longest studied subjects in human history, the current scientific consensus is not far off from the conclusions of the first Western scholar of it, Democritus, who 2,400 years ago said that it was a ‘case of mind’.

To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute and best-selling author.
