A philosopher, an improv comedian, a psychologist and an economist walk into a Sydney Ideas webinar... to give their take on happiness. Can we find ways to be happier than we were before, while in the face of ongoing uncertainty and a global pandemic?

Happiness. There are entire industries dedicated to helping us find it. Endless social media advice, self-help books and gurus promising health, wealth and happiness if only you do that one thing. 

But it can be hard to feel happy in the face of a pandemic - extended lockdowns, the chaos and uncertainty of working from home, of home-schooling, or simply feeling like everything is just relentless.

What are we really chasing, and why? What is the difference between being happy with your life compared to being happy in your life?

Join our conversation with award-winning comedian Rebecca De Unamuno, economist Dan Nahum, psychologist Tim Sharp (aka Dr Happy) and philosopher Dr Caroline West.
