Is modern wellbeing culture actually making you less happy?
Today, self-care, mindfulness and a desire to seek one’s “authentic self” pervade the culture, promising peace and fulfilment. And yet, people are unhappier than ever. Join Professor Jacob Phillips as he shares the hidden dangers lurking behind modern wellbeing culture and why focusing on self-optimisation will never lead to true joy.
Drawing on St Augustine, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), and St John Henry Newman, Professor Phillips shares the Catholic understanding of wellbeing and human flourishing – found ultimately in sacrificial love rather than self-fulfilment. This, he reveals, is the true path to fulfilment and discovering your purpose in life.
