E18. Happiness through suffering and existential positive psychology | Dr Paul Wong

SUPPORT the show: researchinghappy.locals.com This week I am joined by Professor Paul Wong, Professor Emeritus of Trent University and Trinity Western University.  At 86 years young, he has published eight books and 300+ journal articles and chapters; he is one of the most cited psychologists in areas related to existential positive psychology.  This was a great conversation, and raises lots of interesting questions, top of the list is the role of a transcendent creator or God in happiness, compared with other humanistic ideals like science and reason… This is not something I know a lot about so if anyone has any suggestions for future guests please let me know!
