<p><em>&#8220;Happiness is not just the absence of misery&#8221;</em> is one of the findings <a href="http://www.ted.com/speakers/nancy_etcoff.html"> Nancy Etcoff</a>, the instructor of &#8220;The Science of Happiness&#8221; at Harvard Medical School, shares with us as she explores research and theories on happiness, pleasure and contentment. </p>
<p>And in one of the most popular TED talks of all time, &#8220;Happiness Expert&#8221; <a href="http://www.ted.com/speakers/dan_gilbert.html">Dan Gilbert</a> suggests that most of our assumptions about happiness are actually wrong. But don&#8217;t worry, we can still &#8217;stumble&#8217; on it. </p>
