We all want to be happier—but have you ever stopped to ask yourself, what actually is happiness?

Happiness has been debated for thousands of years, from ancient philosophers to modern psychologists, and no single definition fits everyone. In this episode, happiness researcher Declan Edwards unpacks:

✅ Why defining happiness on your own terms is essential
✅ The difference between fleeting happiness and deeper, long-term fulfillment
✅ The science-backed frameworks that help us understand happiness, including the emotional umbrella theory and the idea that happiness is a skill

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what happiness means to you—and how to start building a happier life.
