The Material of Happiness




Ethics Talk: Philosophy, Flourishing and The Good Life show

Summary: In tonight's show, we focus on society’s search for happiness through material objects. To what extent (if any) are material objects relevant to happiness?  If material objects are irrelevant to happiness, then what are the non-material components of happiness?  Our discussion will incorporate some recent concepts found within the domain of positive psychology such as "the hedonic treadmill".
