Britain’s best known headmaster Sir Anthony Seldon offers a new perspective on the pursuit of happiness. Seldon argues that, while it is right for the happiness industry to draw attention to ways of enhancing happiness, it is wrong for it to make us believe that happiness and flourishing is the be-all and end-all. Happiness in itself is not enough, he says, as we all have a need to find something deeper, more profound and meaningful within ourselves. And he explains what we can do to access deeper levels of experience that result in a life of joy.

Seldon is headmaster of Wellington College in Berkshire. He is well-known for introducing happiness and wellbeing classes to the school and is a co-founder of Action for Happiness.
