Four experts comment on how to make Canadians more content.

Program Title: The Mark Radio ep.30- How Happy Are Canadians?
Description: How happy are you? Happier than yesterday? Happier than ten years ago? If not, you might live in Ottawa. Our nation's capital is, according to one recent study, also the capital of Canadian depression. Do the doldrums stem from the drudgery of civil service, the accumulated disappointment of their hockey team's recent playoff performances, or from something more fundamental?

What can be done to cheer up Ottawans, or all Canadians, for that matter?

Host(s): Chris Mitchell
Featured Speakers/Guests: This week on the show, host Chris Mitchell speaks with four experts on elation: First up, a conversation with Alex Michalos, the man who wrote the book on happiness. In fact, in the more than 40 years he's spent studying the subject, he's written several. John Helliwell explains why happiness isn't about what you have, but who you share it with. Michael Pennock on why GDP isn't as good an indicator of well-being as GNH, Gross National Happiness. And finally, Wayne Sumner on why real happiness can't be found in a pill.
