UPDATE TO LOCATION!
Walk into the library and turn right as soon as possible. Go round the book case and back on yourself and you should see an open door with a keypad next to it.
If the door isn't open, please speak to a member of the library.

Then go up the stairs and follow the corridors. You will find us in the last room on the left, past the kitchen.

Happy: Why more or less everything is absolutely fine - Derren Brown

Everyone says they want to be happy. But that's much more easily said than done.
What does being happy actually mean? And how do you even know when you feel it?

Across the millennia, philosophers have thought long and hard about happiness, and come up with all sorts of different definitions and ideas for how we might live a happier life.

Here, Derren explores the history of happiness from classical times until today, when the self-help industry has attempted to claim happiness as its own.
His aim is to reclaim happiness for us all, and enable us to appreciate the really good things in life for what they are.

Where to meet
We will be meeting at Kingston Library, Fairfield Rd, KT1 2PS

Please arrive at 18:25 for a 18:30 start sharp, so we can squeeze the most discussion out of the session :)

We will wrap up around 19:50 as the library needs us out by 20:00.

There will then be an option to go for a drink at a nearby pub if anyone is interested.

As always please feel free to contact me with any questions etc, or post on the Meetup group discussion.
