Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball

Dr Rangan Chatterjee joins Jo and Zoe to talk about the small tweaks that make us happier in our day-to-day lives. They chat micro-stress doses (and why your phone might be sabotaging your morning before you’ve even put the kettle on), and a gratitude practice that even skeptics can try.  HIS BOOK IS OUT NOW - HAPPY MIND, HAPPY LIFE Dr Rangan Chatterjee explores happiness as a daily practice, built through small, sustainable habits. His Core Happiness model focuses on contentment, control and alignment at any age.
