Summary
Dr Rangan Chatterjee is a physician, author, television presenter and a podcaster.
Working out what makes us happy in life is difficult. Distinguishing between our goals and the things that other people want us to have as goals is not easy. After seeing thousands of patients in the NHS and reflecting on his own journey into the public eye, Rangan has turned his attention on happiness and what genuinely fulfils us.
Expect to learn why your dreams won't make you happier, how the definition of happiness you use largely influences the way you pursue it, why external success can only go so far in filling internal problems, Rangan's lessons from a 96 year old holocaust survivor, my insight around why fame is a useless signal in 2022 and much more...
