http://www.ted.com Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, challenges the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. Our “psychologica…
So science has caught up with what your Grand Parents / Parents always
knew…saying thank you and meaning it makes you and the recipient happy.
“Trust me. I’m in a lab coat.” LOL
Awwww man… this made me cry.
It turns out that psychologists have scientifically proven that one of the
greatest contributors to your overall level of happiness is connected with
your ability to express gratitude
This is wonderful! I am sooooo Subbing!
Nice little experiment …

Trust me… I’m in a lab coat. Lol beautiful vid thx SoulPancake :)
I actually came in expecting myself to burst out in laughter, instead I
started crying from all the feels. haha
Excellent video…”just smile and say ‘thank you’…we can all do that!”
there are happy hormones that get released from our brains when we feel
“good,…helping others.”
Liken it
:)
I can’t stop watching your vids you guys, halp!
Awesome
How does the mother know that is his son calling? (2:04) He didn´t say
anything before she picked up and I´m guessing that she doesn´t know that
phone number
In the bible, it says happiness comes from appreciating what you have. You
can’t find happiness from getting something. Try it for yourself and right
down everything your thankful for.
This just made me feel really sad for the old black guy :(
Fantastic experiment. I wish we have more channels like this. Well done

Personally, i was touched when i saw this. I thought of my life. Before I
viewed this clip, I was sad. Sorrowful. Depressed. But after I viewed it, I
did it for myself, and believe me, it’s worth it. It is worth it. Spread
the word, if you can. Not only does gratitude affect you, it affects those
around you. So try it 🙂
this talk made me happy.
freedom is a poison
*The surprising science of* #happiness
You lost one option and you consider that if you had had the opportunity to
choose, you could have done a better job. But is the free will going to
make things easier? Apparently not! In a study done on students that were
asked to present two photographs, the results were quite intriguing. They
were asked to take with them only one photograph while the other remained
at the study. A part of them had the possibility to take this decision in a
few days, while the others had to do it in a couple of minutes. The results
were fantastic! Those who had time to think about their decision were
unhappier than the other category that had to act quickly. This reminds us
of *Barry Schwarz paradox of* #choice , in which *you are less happy when
you have a lot of choices to make.*
*When you always happy, don’t feel bad. This video just makes it crystal
clear for us*

Synthetic happiness…. Is it any good ?
And we can use our prefrontal cortex to devise thought experiments
demonstrating that it would have been better for the prefrontal cortex not
to have evolved.
best TEDx vid i’ve seen
i don’t agree, the point is not solid enough
He said about imagination “Not our ancestor can do it ” ! How do you know
?!! Heheh funny guy
amazing talk. A++
wow you are full of shit , i have lost use of my legs and now I feel that
death would be better ! so just speak for your self ,
This amazing and very enlightning talk by Dan Gilbert actually inspired me
to astray from my plans a while back and make a somewhat “unsecure” life
decision.
Watch it, and please comment – where you surprised about this research?

freedom, happiness, creativity all that is good in humans comes when you
free yourself from your conditioning and limited existence.
That was awesome!
Synthetic happiness….what a retarded idea. There is only happiness;
either they all feel the exact same thing generated in the exact same way
in the brain or one group is lying.
We have within us the power to create our own happiness
If our brains synthesise #happiness at our (sub)command, how do we know who
and what really makes us happy? #cognitive #psychology
Next time I speak about happiness with my (next ex) date I’ll reply with *”No
dear its not you, is me. Seriously. Its my brain that makes me happy.”* I
wonder if she’ll understand the…science!? :)
Complying data on human beings in such a sterile way, with research trying
to fit a mindset really has no validity. The research appears to be more
biased towards material happiness. There are people out there who through
deep personal loss or servere truama lead deeply unhappy lives even though
on the surface when asked say they are happy, even believing this falsehood
themselves. In many people the truth will just not out. I agree that people
can adapt to deeply unhappy experiences but the background pain remains no
matter how much research attempts to wish it away by study of nuerons and
chemical pathways. There also appears to be complete lack of the spiritual
in any of the arguments presented which of course is anaethma to
‘objective’ science. 🙂
do not agree with his premise at all.
Unhappy with free will or happy with no free will? Sounds like a win-win.
