For Australian readers, on Sunday night Compass will be exploring happiness and its causes. The programme was filmed during the recent visit of Dalai Lama. It’s a panel discussion featuring His Holiness, actor/comedian Magda Szubanski; author and Executive Director of The Australia Institute Clive Hamilton; Canterbury MP and first indigenous women elected to NSW Parliament Linda Burney; and Executive Director of the Black Dog Institute Professor Gordon Parker.

Just how much can material possessions and wealth make you happy? Can ambition and success be the solution to a fulfilling life? How can parents raise happy children? Can pain and tragedy actually put you on the path to happiness? . . . this intriguing discussion is interwoven with thought-provoking insight and potentially life-changing ideals to live by, that may leave you inspired and motivated to put yourself on the path to greater peace and contentment for years to come.

If you’re interested, turn on the ABC at 10.05pm tomorrow night(Sunday 18 August). There’s more information on the programme here and here. For non-Australian readers, Compass posts transcripts of some episodes on their website and I’ll post a link if they have one for this story.
