N2  - "Why is it that no matter how good things get, we still feel dissatisfied? A few years ago Matt Heath decided to find a way to live a life less punishing. He did a deep dive into why we feel the way we do and how to change it; interviewing leading thinkers in neuroscience, philosophy, biology and psychology from around the world on the reasons behind our unwelcome emotions: anger, worry, stress, loneliness and many more. Are you grumpy, bored, stressed, or blowing up over stuff that doesn't matter? Turns out, once you have the tools to unpack and take charge of your emotions, life gets better - for you, your mates, and your family."--
