This is an iHeart Podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Hey, everyone.

Welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed.

Today's guest is someone who's going to help us do exactly that.

I'm speaking about Yann-Emmanuel Deneuve, a professor of economics and behavioral scientist at the University of Oxford and director of Wellbeing Research Center.

Jan is a leading expert on the economics of well-being and co-leads the world's largest study on how people feel at work.

His latest book, Why Workplace Well-Being Matters, explores how happiness at work shapes our lives, businesses, and society.

If you want to lead better, if you want to know how to have happiness,

in your teams, in your workplace, and in your life, go and grab a copy of this book.

I promise you, you won't regret it.

Please welcome to the podcast, Yann-Emmanuel Deneuve.

Yann, it is great to have you here.

Thank you for having me.

It's so wonderful to get the opportunity to reconnect as well.

First question I want to ask you is, you're part of the biggest study on happiness in the world.

What's the most heartbreaking thing that you found?

Why are younger people becoming unhappier?

Yeah, I really like the fact that when you've actually sat down and talked to individuals, you don't get this glazed overview of what the issue is, right?

You get a very specific set of factors that are affecting wellbeing.
