There’s a post in the Big Think Blog titled, “Question of the Day: What is Happiness?“
Our question today is one of the most fundamental we face in our lives — just what constitutes happiness and how do we go about achieving it. It is a question that has been pondered since the very beginning, and as far as we’ve come in understanding of the nuts and bolts that underpin happiness, right down to the neurological processes that govern it, we may be no closer to a complete answer. And, so, it is left to the philosophers, poets and each and everyone of us through our own reflections to make sense of what is happiness.
More interesting to me than the written portion of the post is the embedded video. Big Think is an intellectual version of YouTube, and I like the answer to the happiness question in this video clip “of Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert’s, who studies the science of happiness.”
