What does a family need to be happy?

Happiness doesn't come loud and colourful, but rather quietly. But how do we become happy? And how can we ensure that our family is happy? Psychologist Fabian Grolimund talks about this with Nik Niethammer.

Fabian Grolimund is a psychologist and has written several books for children, young people and parents - including «Jaron auf den Spuren des Glücks», «Erfolgreich lernen mit ADHS» and «Geborgen, mutig, frei - wie Kinder zu innerer Stärke finden». The father of two also writes regularly for the Swiss parenting magazine Fritz+Fränzi.

Panel discussion from 8 November 2022 (39:15 min.): In conversation with Nik Niethammer, editor-in-chief of Fritz+Fränzi, Fabian Grolimund discusses, among other things, the question of whether parents are responsible for their children's happiness. And can happiness be learnt or is it a matter of character? Research into happiness and life satisfaction shows that happiness doesn't come loudly, colourfully and expensively, but rather quietly. It creeps into our lives when we do work that interests us and benefits others with people we like. It stalks us when we give our seemingly scarce time to people who are important to us. It stays with us a little longer when we realise what we have, what we are grateful for and what we are looking forward to.
