This year on March 20th, the world will celebrate for the first time the International Day of Happiness. Proclaimed by the UN General Assembly last June, the International Day of Happiness serves as an opportunity to mark the pursuit of global happiness, and to consider the factors involved in achieving such happiness.

Dr Brendan Gomez is back in the studio with Meera Sivasothy, discussing what we need to be truly happy.
