Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle.
On the podcast today we're exploring the state of mind of when we're feeling a little bit neither here nor there.
We've all been there that headspace when we know somethings missing, but we cant quite say what.
Many might simply term it feeling a bit meh.
Well there is a better name for that state of mind and its been written about in detail by the sociologist doctor Corey Keyes.
He calls it languishing, which is the subject of his new book.
Throughout Coreys influential career, hes advised organisations such as the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, various global government agencies and the World Happiness Forum.
Let's hear more from our host for this discussion, Sophie McBain.
Sophie is contributing editor at the New Statesman magazine and writes about books and ideas for the Guardian and the Sunday Times.
Corey Keys is a sociologist and a professor at Emory University in Georgia who studies positive well being, how humans thrive and flourish.
