https://anhedonicsguide.uk/podcasts/the-anhedonics-guide-to-happiness-podcast/ Hosted by James Brown—neurodivergent, emotionally flat, and deeply confused by people who describe things as “life-affirming”—this podcast attempts the impossible: understanding happiness from the outside. Each week, James sits down with guests who claim to know what joy is, how to find it, or at least how to fake it convincingly at parties. Think of it as a slightly bitter field guide to a feeling you’ve heard other people describe. From the science of dopamine to the quiet satisfaction of petting a cat that doesn’t hate you, we explore happiness in all its confusing, overrated, occasionally fascinating forms. No toxic positivity. No mandatory gratitude journals. Just one emotionally baffled host asking: What the hell is happiness, and is it worth the effort?
