Our very last episode of the year analyses what makes us
human beings happy. Aldo speaks to Dr. Michael Vlerick, our most
listened to guest of 2023, about his new book ‘Why We Are Not
Happier’ and what makes us tick in an era of negative news
clickbait and social media depression.
We explore terms like ‘hedonic adaptation’ and ’negativity
bias’ all carefully explained by this great philosopher who
explains his reasons to publish his third book.
Michael is an assistant professor in philosophy of science at
Tilburg University and authored two previous books "De tweede
vervreemding" and "Critical and Scientific Thinking”. He gives
talks on topics such as global cooperation, critical thinking and
happiness.
