Professor Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard Business School

Join the Atlantic columnist and Harvard Professor and discover a blueprint for a better life.

You can get happier. And getting there will be the adventure of a lifetime.

When times are good, this is easy to believe. But sometimes life’s hardships can feel like impossible barriers, making happiness seem out of reach. In these times, the only way to get happier is to wait and hope things get better. Right? Wrong.

A Professor at Harvard Business School specialising in happiness and leadership, Arthur Brooks joins us to share his insights into realising greater happiness, no matter how challenging your circumstances. Drawing upon the ideas in Build the Life You Want, his new book co-authored with Oprah Winfrey, he will offer not unrealistic promises of perfect bliss, but evidence-based tools to meet you wherever you are and make greater happiness a choice.

Don’t miss this chance to learn the tools of emotional self-management, and discover how to take control of your well-being, rather than waiting for your circumstances to improve.
