On Success and Happiness: A Glowing Recommendation to Arthur Brooks' Work

Arthur Brooks speaking on success and happiness

I want to share with you the seminal theory that has shaped my work since I left my CMO role at The Access Group.

I have thought about summarising it or giving my own take on the wonderful work and impressive presence that is Arthur Brooks but the truth is that there is so much in that lecture and he is so good at delivering it that the best recommendation I can give you is to please watch it in full, with full attention.

You will learn things like what your other pension plan should be invested on, the difference between fluid and crystallised intelligence, why Darwin and many other exceptionally successful individuals die unhappy, and the three things that really matter to avoid ending up like them.
