TED Talk Tuesdays @ Unity Renaissance – “Why are We Happy? Why aren’t We Happy?” with Dan Gilbert
May 8, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Dan Gilbert, author of “Stumbling on Happiness,” challenges the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. Our “psychological immune system” lets us feel truly happy even when things don’t go as planned.
Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong — a premise he supports with intriguing research, and explains in his accessible and unexpectedly funny book, Stumbling on Happiness.
