Charlie Harrison, author and researcher, discusses the Easterlin Paradox, which reveals that economic growth doesn't always equate to increased life satisfaction. He explores the concept of 'rescaling,' suggesting that true happiness may be underestimated in traditional measures. In collaboration with academics Caspar Kaiser and Andrew Oswald, he examines how life events might appear less significant on an extended scale, opening up intriguing implications for how we perceive well-being and happiness over time.
