The Politics of Happiness - An Evening with Anthony Seldon

Why does modern life make us miserable? And why is our country in such a mess? Who better to answer these questions than one of Britain’s most provocative and original public intellectuals, Sir Anthony Francis Seldon FRSA FRHistS FKC. 

As well as being the author of 45 books, including acclaimed biographies of consecutive prime ministers from Tony Blair to Boris Johnson, he is an innovative educator, pioneering the promotion of mental well-being and in wider society, both as a headmaster and through Action for Happiness, a charity that he co-founded. 

Anthony and our parliamentary candidate Edward Lucas first met when Edward was education correspondent for the Economist in 2003. Don't miss this chance to hear their discussion, with Anthony's wide-ranging and piercingly well-informed views on public policy, and on the urgent need for deep-seated and radical reforms in the way we run our education system - and our country.
