BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Happiness

Roy Jenkins examines what happiness is - and what it has to do with religious faith.

Award-winning religious affairs programme with the Reverend Roy Jenkins.

Last week began with "Blue Monday" - the term coined by a Welsh academic to identify what's alleged to be the most depressing day of the year. 

In response, BBC Wales is doing some serious thinking about the reasons why we can swing between delight and despair, with a number of programmes this week examining the issues involved. Tuesday has been dubbed 'Welsh Happiness Day', and this week we look at what happiness is, and what it has to do with religious faith.

Joining Roy to discuss happiness are: The Rev Dr Martin Robinson, Principal of ForMission College and co-author of The 8 Secrets of Happiness; Vishvapani Blomfield, Buddhist teacher and writer who lists 'the path to happiness' among his courses; and 
Laura Jones from the Muslim Council of Wales, who's been a university chaplain and worked with an Islamic mental health charity.
