MBA Online Taster Lecture with Professor Nick Powdthavee

MBA online taster lecture: Does money buy happiness?

In this lecture, Nick will be discussing whether money truly buys us happiness. If so, how much does it buy? What insights can we gain on the relationship between income and wellbeing from the science of happiness? Are millionaires significantly happier than the rest of us? If everybody is getting richer over time, is everybody happier with their life as a whole? And how can we spend our money wisely if we want to maximise our wellbeing?"

Nick currently teaches on the Distance Learning MBA and Executive MBA programmes at WBS, so this insight into flexible teaching on our world-class MBA is not to be missed!
