When we chase happiness, it runs away like a cat when you're trying to give it a bath, but the world of pop psychology is filled with competing advice that either claims it can help you catch it or warns you not to seek it out at all.

Comedian Ariane Sherine was determined to find the true path to happiness, so she enrolled public health expert David Conrad to help out (and write a book in the process). She'll be talking about what the studies say you should do to find happiness in your relationships, your friendships, your finances, your sex life and your career.

This assembly will be hosted by resident human guinea pig Matt Lockwood and will feature poetry by Christopher Kraken. Please stay after for tea, biscuits, and engaging conversations with members of our community.
