In this thought-provoking episode of Onion Soup, Dexter sits down with happiness researcher Catia Arnaut, whose global journey through Dubai, Angola, and Geneva led her to question a core assumption: if income rises, shouldn’t wellbeing rise too? Her research says otherwise. Catia describes what she calls a “silent pandemic” in mental health—rising anxiety, disconnection, and chronic stress despite material growth. She argues that especially for women, putting yourself first isn’t selfish. It’s essential nervous system maintenance. Together, they explore four research-backed happiness skills that build emotional resilience: • Gratitude (with measurable, lasting effects)• Meaningful relationships• Purpose• Genuine generosity They unpack how generosity can quietly turn into manipulation when it’s driven by ego or expectation—and how true giving feels different in the body. The conversation moves from personal wellbeing to systemic reform. Catia critiques GDP-only definitions of progress—echoing concerns raised decades ago by Robert F.
