The big reason I make this podcast is to let you in on all the scientific research that can help you lead a happier life.

So over these next four special shows, I'm going to do something a little different.
I'm going to talk to four different experts and have them talk us through some practical tips that will allow us to harness the power of the new year in order to make positive changes in our lives.
