Dr Brad Elphinstone: How Much Money Do We Need to Be Happy?

Is there a “magic number” for happiness or does money stop mattering after the basics are covered? Psychologist Dr Brad Elphinstone explores the latest research, from $10,000 windfalls to the power of generosity, why inequality makes us all less happy, and whether time, freedom and relationships matter more than cash.

Guest: Brad Elphinstone, Senior Lecturer in the School of Health
Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology

Presenter: Warren Andrew
