Inspired by tonight's performance of David Sawer's The Greatest Happiness Principle, the second in a series of talks about mood and emotion in art and literature, with Charlotte Mendelson.
About This Event
Novelist Charlotte Mendelson asks why writers seem reluctant to engage with happiness and why so much literature is full of unhappy people. She’s joined by psychologist and broadcaster Claudia Hammond, presenter of Radio 4’s All In The Mind programme and author of Emotional Rollercoaster: A Journey Through the Science of Feelings.
Edited version broadcast on BBC Radio 3 during tonight's interval.
