In this episode, Kamal Ahmed is joined by two bestselling authors: a life designer and a behavioural scientist to discuss the tools and insights that we can use to build happy and healthy lives. A mechanical engineer by training, Dave Evans teaches the overwhelmingly popular Designing Your Life courses at Stanford, and is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life. Dr Grace Lordan is an Associate Professor at the London School of Economics, and the author of Think Big, Take Small Steps, and Build the Future you Want. She is also the inaugural Director of the Behavioural Science MSc at the LSE, and has served as an expert advisor to the UK government sitting on their skills and productivity board.
