Ep.17. In this episode of Happiness, A Sceptics Guide, your hosts Paul Flower and Dr Gary Wood compare goals and New Year's resolutions and tell you how to set your goals for positive outcomes.  As usual, there are the usual tangents, anecdotes and colourful turns of phrase all in pursuit of the podcast's overarching goal 'to find the things that could actually make you happier'.

Based on Gary Wood's book 'Don't Wait For Your Ship to Come In . . . Swim Out to Meet It'. To read more about the book, for the UK go to: https://amzn.to/3wMc3Gh. And for the US go to: https://amzn.to/3FnnQxT
