In just under two weeks, Chickpea Chats kicks off In just under two weeks, Chickpea Chats kicks off here at The King’s Arms, in collaboration with @nearfieldhq, curated by @lovedbytee. We start proceedings with happiness expert @nic_marks on 21st January — the week of Blue Monday — to discover how we can all find more happiness in our everyday lives. Nic is an internationally acclaimed speaker whose TED Talk on happiness has been watched millions of times. His TEDBook, A Happiness Manifesto, put measuring national wellbeing on the global agenda and transformed the way happiness is measured in the workplace. Nic’s new book, Happiness Is a Serious Business, is a modern-day bible on how we can create everyday happiness in our personal and work lives. Nic will be signing his book, Happiness Is a Serious Business, after the talk. The talk starts at 7pm and is free to attend (you will still need to pre-book your place). And it goes without saying, we’d love you to stay for supper or a pizza afterwards. To book your seat, head over to the Chickpea website. x
