The Science of Happiness
Posted by natalie on 06/20/09 in blog
It seemed like a nice way to start the week, with two speakers focusing on happiness:
“Happiness is not just the absence of misery” is one of the findings Nancy Etcoff, the instructor of “The Science of Happiness” at Harvard Medical School, shares with us as she explores research and theories on happiness, pleasure and contentment.
And in one of the most popular TED talks of all time, “Happiness Expert” Dan Gilbert suggests that most of our assumptions about happiness are actually wrong. But don’t worry, we can still ’stumble’ on it.
Wishing you a happy start to the week!
