  • S3E11 - Rethinking Happiness Part 2, with Prof Mark Fabian
    May 2 2025
    What does it mean to live a happy life? Can happiness be more than just feeling good? And how might ideas like meaning, community, and values help us rethink wellbeing?

    In this second of a two part series, hosts Will and Ellie are joined by Dr Mark Fabian, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of Warwick and author of Beyond Happy.

    They explore happiness as something more complex than mood—touching on meaning, self-actualisation, nihilism, community, and the impact of culture and policy on our ability to live well.
    The conversation also reflects on how mental health and happiness intersect, and why moving beyond self-optimisation might bring us closer to fulfilment.

    Mark's book Beyond Happy is published by Bedford Square and available to buy now by clicking here.

  • S3E10 - REMIX - Redefining Happiness
    Apr 4 2025
    What is happiness? How does it vary across cultures? How might notions of happiness change for people with mental health challenges?

    In this episode of Lively Minds: The Mental Health Podcast, host Will revisits an interview from May 2023 with Professor William Tov of Singapore Management University.

    They discuss the broad and varied definitions of happiness, cultural differences in how happiness is perceived, and the role personality plays in happiness.

    The conversation also touches on the impact of mental health on happiness, the distinction between fleeting emotions and deeper life satisfaction, and how cultural norms can shape our understanding of what it means to live a happy life.

    In this episode of 'Lively Minds,' Ellie discusses the importance of collective care and mental health through a conversation with artists: Charlie Fitz and Miss Jackie.

    The shared experiences of disability and creativity fostered a unique bond among them, providing a space for emotional support, mutual understanding, and collective care.

    They also offer insights on how others can cultivate similar supportive networks.
