Session Overview

Our society is obsessed with achievement. For younger generations, competition and comparison pervade all aspects of life: from school and work to fitness and even our love life, thanks to Tinder and Instagram. But does achievement drive happiness? Decades of science suggest otherwise. In this light-hearted and thought-provoking talk, psychologist and neuroscientist Jeroen van Baar reveals the secrets of the satisfied mind and asks the question on everybody's mind: would life be better if we just embraced mediocrity?
