PNTV: Happier by Tal Ben-Shahar (#5) 

I found that Tal Ben Shahar even has a book called "Even Happier" - it´s a Gratitude journal with weekly exercises for one year. Started doing exercises from there and listed being grateful for finding your PhilosophersNotes as one of the most fun things today :)

Hi Brian, I love your PN TV idea! :) awesome episode. I'm going to get my notebook and re-listen to it again. So many good ideas, I am afraid I am going to forget half of them :) One of my gratitudes in my life I am going to write down today is for discovering you! Thank you so much for your passion for what you're doing... and a separate thank you for what you're doing :) You're a wonderful role model in my life that reminds me about a better way to live. with appreciation, Marianna

Super cool, Brian! I love Tal Ben-Shahar's book, "Happier." A must read!

I also love positive psychology and I can't wait to watch your other videos on the books you have read. I am working on ACT skills with my therapist. I actually found her from researching online about how to find an ACT therapist. We haven't gotten far, but I am grateful to have the opportunity to use these skills in my life. I am trying to set up some good rituals in my life and like many people I want to make many changes ASAP. I am trying to take it slow and focus on just a few. The thing which is the hardest thing for me to implement which is the most important--exercise--is really the most important. I am going to start today and do some stretching. Thanks for this Brian!!

Thanks Brian, positive psychology is the key :)

Awesome summary ! thank you.

I read a great book called Happiness is Overrated. The book covers hedonism, platonic happiness, Aristotle's version, asceticism, and the modern versions reconceived from Kant to Hegel to the Utilitarians and the author's thesis on why happiness is overrated.

Can you please also do a video on the book -10% happier . Thanks

I struggle with happiness every day, it does not come natural for me. Sometimes I can't help but feel like giving up. I guess I just need to focus on gratitude more =(

hola, soy psicólogo en Chile docente de universidad, me gusta mucho tus resúmenes de los libros sin embargo, es realmente dificil para latinos poder seguir todo lo que dices, personalmente entiendo ingles pero no en su totalidad. espero puedas dejar con subtitulos. saludos

wow... love this Brian! You're amazing. Can't wait to hear more episodes :)

Good word
