Dr. Michael Plant, the Founder and Director of the Happier Lives Institute, joins Charity Talks. While studying for his PhD in moral philosophy at the University of Oxford, Michael realized that there was a pressing need for more research on the most cost-effective, evidence-based ways to improve global happiness. That led him to found the Happier Lives Institute. Michael and Brooke discuss how by drawing on the fields of philosophy, economics and psychology, the Institute goes about focusing on neglected global problems, such as mental health and pain, identifies key interventions, and then evaluates the best organizations to deliver those interventions.
