The science of love and happiness
Sunday 30 June 2013
Presenter: Lynne Malcolm
What lies beneath the ecstasy and the heartache of love? This question so intrigued anthropologist Helen Fisher that she scanned the brains of the lovestruck and got new insights into why we are attracted to one person rather than another. And the science of happiness—we hear from foremost expert on happiness and well-being Ed Diener about how we can achieve it and why it's really good for us.
