In this conversation, Darren and Simon explore the concept of quality of life, discussing how it is often misinterpreted as being directly linked to material possessions and income. They share personal anecdotes, research findings, and cultural observations to illustrate that true happiness and quality of life stem from emotional well-being, meaningful experiences, and simplicity rather than the accumulation of wealth or status. The discussion emphasises the importance of understanding the proxies we chase in life and how they relate to our overall happiness.
