When did this conference happen.

Nice talks. I wish she could speak more about how to feel happiness although she introduced it a bit.

The How of Happiness. is very good on implementing gratitude activities, interesting to see the latest research on this.

This could have been a much better video if the visual aids/slides were on-screen for longer than just 2-3 seconds. Pretty hard to appreciate any of the lists or graphs. Why didn't the video editors keep them up longer? Why do we need to see the speaker talking for 95% of the video when it's apparent that the event audience got to see & digest her research visually presented??? This just became annoying throughout watching the video...the anxiety that you would miss the visual aids on happiness.

The woman who speaks by evidence.

The biggest trouble about science of happiness is that like sorrow, it is an artificial construct not a concrete or tangible one. It is an interpretation that mind makes by pattern recognition and that is socially conditioned learned reflexes or Jungian Affective Conditionings Operant Biases (JACOBS). Smokers cherish and savor cigarettes and derive immense pleasure while I would find it bitter pungent and repulsive. Many others dislike alcoholic beverages while I do like a glass of red wine with my dinner. Initially I was unable to handle beer. It took a while to develop the taste. In the same manner humans train themselves or society trains them what should or would make them happy or sad. It is all artefactual and studying artefactual elements would prove very tricky when subjected to scientific rigor. That is why most studies on happiness produce inconsistent results.

Hey I'm afraid your map of China at 2:50'' is not correct...

With respect Dr. Lyubomisky, in light of the impression that one gets that life satisfaction or happiness level is taking pretty much a nose dive with a dark horizon from climate change, global conflicts etc., it can be confidently stated that the work of the happiness researcher is not helping humans elevate the level of their happiness or life satisfaction.

how about work on the stupid bullies instead of working on the victims of bullying!

Sonja, You need to slow down your speech and thus disengage from your ego. This will make your presentation much more effective and useful.
