Kiran Morjaria explores why happiness can feel so difficult to hold onto and why our brains are wired to focus on the negatives. From negativity bias and the 'happiness pie' to the difference between quick pleasure and lasting fulfilment, Kiran breaks down the science behind feeling good with practical ways to build more happiness into everyday life. Plus, a soundtrack packed with feel-good bangers, from Karan Aujla’s Wavy to Bollywood classics like London Thumakda. Produced in Birmingham by Voxwave for BBC Asian Network.
