What does it really mean to be happy? Historian and author Darrin McMahon has spent years exploring one of life's biggest questions and his findings might surprise you.
In this fascinating talk, the Dartmouth professor and author of Happiness: A History takes us on a journey through human history to ask whether our ancestors thought about happiness in the same way we do today.
From our earliest Palaeolithic forebears to the present day, McMahon unpicks our assumptions about what it means to live well and challenges the idea that the pursuit of happiness is simply human nature.
