Excited to hear solutions and about this topic. Always have trouble debating and usually conflict avoidant. Thanks LS!!!

100% get this. So true. Easy to be a cynic but hard to trust others enough to work together and know any little change is better than none.

Hatred yields minimal positive effect on communities, leading to developmental stagnation. Cooperation maximizes positive effect, promoting innovation.

I needed to hear this today. I’ve been losing patience with people who are stuck in the dark ages. Watching a video about flat-earthers didn’t help, lol. It’s hard to agree to disagree on some things… I’d turn blue in the face trying to get someone to accept that the world isn’t flat. 🤣

You use to have morals, surprising.

…sleep deprivation and how this affects the brain , our performance and how this affects our body ….great presentation DR . SANTOS . 👏👏

DR . SANTOS …..I took your happiness class …..I am glade you decided to be here on KZbin . I wish more people would take your class .

I am autistic and have this level of obsession for several things, it dictates every aspect of my life and I love it so much. It gives me a sense of purpose and drive. People often comment on how passionate I am, and I am grateful for that.

Thank you dr. santos

"100% right! Habits are crucial for achieving goals. I've seen many people fall short because they focus solely on end goals without building supportive habits. Research shows that nearly 90% of goal-setting failures come from inconsistent actions. This often happens because we underestimate how much daily habits shape our progress, leading to frustration and missed milestones. Establishing consistent habits turns small, daily actions into significant achievements over time. I faced this challenge myself, and after experimenting with various approaches, I discovered Habit10x through a recommendation. Their habit-building program made a real difference for me. Found them online!"

I needed to hear this. 😊

Thanks again for your Happy work. Must be very fulfilling. I like the Danish story. Id like someone to fact check. But i think Okinawa is not part of SE Asia. Secondly Singapore cannot be a happy place. That researcher has some flawed data. The Gini Index shows a big gap between rich n poor. Workers have been oftentimes reported to be unhappy. Perhaps the stats on the longevity of Singapore based people are distorted by the disproportionately high number of UHNWI relocated here. Im contented here. But id say that many more need to hear your goid stuff Btw im promoting Science of Wellbeing course here

I'm always happy when there's a new episode!! I thought so much about the new Wednesday listening to it. I used to relate with her but since the new series I confess I'm not proud when I act like this haha

This is an under appreciated concept.

KZbin SUCKS.

This lady's free class helped me during the darkest time of the pandemic

I love your content. And love your background. Thanks for all you do.

I think the course "The Science of Well-Being" is no longer free on coursera, am I right ? There is just an option for a 7 day free trial

Does the author controlled for other factors? A student who comes from a low income background might work harder in school to increase the probability of securing a high paying job. However, It won't be surprising that this student has lower levels of well being in-spite having a higher GPA

Hello ...

Awesome

Wow, this video is much needed in today’s world. It was really fantastic! Thank you!

It’s called cognitive reframing

I got massively abused by my stepmom from the ages of 7 to 17. Before that I loved going to the library, reading, and observing nature and how machines worked. Sadly, I became an F student and barely graduated. I tried to go to college but had high anxiety and low self-esteem. I was raised to think I was dumb and lazy, rather than encouraged for being curious and independent. I'm now a 50-year-old straight-A college senior. I still get anxious every assignment, but I know it's PTSD, not reality. I have realized the grades aren't even really that important in the big picture. Professors like me, but no one at my job even knew I didn't have a degree until I mentioned that I was a part-time student. I want to finish my degree, but what has become more important to me is to LIVE life feeling healthy and loved by my community. So much "success" is predicated on being deferential to an unearned chain-of-command.

I am one of the people whose near-death experience has changed my life. Back in 2014, I experienced a depth of depression that consumed me with intense suicidal ideation for over a month, culminating in a week-long hospitalization for plan and intent. Coming out of that experience, I found that I was much more comfortable with the idea of dying, but I valued my life so much more. Every year since then, I have celebrated the anniversary of my hospitalization by taking the time to remember all of the things I've been able to experience because I am still alive. The friends I've made that I never would have met, the trips I've taken, the jobs I've had, the knowledge I've gained, the depth of happiness I've felt that I never would have imagined at the time of my hospitalization. This day of remembering that I could have died has become more meaningful to me than any other holiday or even my own birthday. I even threw parties with my closest friends for several years. This year, year 10, I got a commemorative tattoo to celebrate. My view of the world is so different because of my experience. Aging doesn't scare me. Every wrinkle and gray hair is a badge of honor showing that I'm sill alive and that I've lived a long time. My ideas of having a singular career in a particular field have changed, and instead I prioritize working with people I like in a company that aligns with my values. Everyday annoyances don't rattle me anymore - waiting in a long line, having my food order done wrong, road rage...it just doesn't matter to me as much. I'm much more likely to take notice of little moments of joy and beauty, like a gorgeous sunset, the laughter of a little kid, a butterfly or bird landing nearby, or a piece of beautiful music. Being alive is enough.

Thank you, Dr. Laurie Santos, for this insightful video on how to make young people happier again! I'm currently enrolled in your "Science of Well-Being" course on Coursera and loving it. Happiness can indeed be trained just like memory, muscles, or language! Your teachings are incredibly empowering and practical. Thanks for spreading joy and well-being! 😊

This is really important! Thanks so much for covering this :)

I think the "grocery list" effect she mentioned is definitely my biggest draw to pain. I have a lot of anxiety, and a tend to overanalyze things quite a bit, and it's so cathartic to have that all melt away for a while...

הייתי שמח אם הייתי נסיכה יפה לבושה בלבן שתמיד עושה מעשים טובים ויכולה לגדול ולהתכווץ.

Yeah but. The other day I was sitting in the car at a lay by and an extreme feeling of euphoria came over me for the many things I’d done well in the last week. Not to tell anyone. Just a happy me.

Yeeeeeessssss!

Man I wish I didn’t have a physical labor job, so I could get one of these fancy use your brain jobs, never knew I didn’t use my brain to work until now
