A YORK school was first to receive the wisdom of a former pupil and Guardian journalist when playing host to the launch of his new book.

Oliver Burkeman signed copies at Huntington School of his new book, HELP!: How To Be Slightly Happier, Slightly More Successful And Get A Bit More Done.

The book details the five years Mr Burkeman spent studying the weird and wonderful features of the “Happiness Industry”.

He gave a talk on his book and happiness in general and was available for questions afterward.
