Happiness Is A Journey

Dr Alvin Ng, Author of ‘Happiness: Mastering the 5Gs for an Enhanced You’

Happiness Is A Journey

Here’s a good thing you need to know: how to be happy. It’s one of those things - along with parenting and life - that you wish you had an instruction manual for. Why is the pursuit of happiness so important to us? Is happiness just about fleeting experiences of pleasure, or can we strive to achieve a more constant state of it? We find out what a clinical psychologist Dr Alvin Ng has to say about happiness, and what ideas he can share from his new book, “Happiness: Mastering the 5Gs for an Enhanced You”.
