http://www.ted.com Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, challenges the idea that well be miserable if we dont get what we want.

Wow man 2007. Dang.
-
Honestly, as far as I know there's no magic man
-
I was interested in your talk until you mentioned evolution. I know I'm a created being, I do not come from some ape man. anyway, I may listen to the rest of it
-
Brilliant. I wake up everyday and spend an hour lying there contemplating and visualising everything I could or should do, then end up doing and achieving nothing. Is your next talk on how we can focus our minds on limiting our many choices?!

In one sentence: like the things you get since you may not always get the things you like. I think it is a Spanish proverb.
-
One thing I question about in his talk is that how did he measure the happiness? The happiness is not like weight or height, you cannot just simply measure it psychically. Can some one answer me ?
-
The captions are too slow it's frustrating...

God created Man, not evolution
There is more evidence that supports creation than evolution. Sad that some people don't use the brain capacity this guy references. -
Wow.
-
My main take away is the key component that commitment serves in happiness. "Make your decision, you'll never see the other one ever again." When we have a way out or a way to reverse things (a way out of commitment), we give ourselves an unending dilemma. It makes sense how that can add to or even create cognitive dissonance. We'll question not only that decision but our decision making process in general. Cool talk.

Only 90% of the control group could remember which print they owned?
-
Denial is happiness?
-
''Grass is always Greener on the other side''
-
So basically it's as the buddhist teach, to accept the situation
-
What the heck did I just listen to
-
My issue with this is he didn't show us enough data. I want to know if successful business people (like Bill Gates) have higher amounts of subjective well-being than regular people. I want to know what life styles lead to the highest forms of happiness (if any). I also want to know what life styles lead to the least forms of happiness (if any). I understand synthetic happiness exists now; however, certain actions must produce more or less longterm happiness. Choice, for example; produces less happiness. So what other actions do that?

Ok.......i would love to get in on the intellectual dialogue but i gotta ask
DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR HIM FART AT 9:30?
DUDE DROPPED THE BOMB!!! -
I have a better question : Why is he yelling ?
-
I would love to see where the data at 3:04 is coming from. Seems highly unlikely. Also has been disproven already by studies which show to what amount of money happiness keeps improving. Result: money does play a role untill a certain extent. So yeah.. Motivational bs. You can choose not walking. I'll still choose the money. Stopping to watch right here. This presentation is for people who don't read.
