Is Your Glass Half-Full or Half-Empty? | The Science of Happiness

[@anikagrace123]

Oh my gosh "And I've got work to do." in the beginning is so perfect.

[@johnmerks4373]

The guy in the red shirt is a old friend of mine. I remember him form back in middle school. He was always a outcast and coped with pain and depression by hiding behind a smile and laugh. Its cool to see he has over came some of his challenges.

[@luigimoskito9291]

ok

[@luigimoskito9291]

Cool

[@TheHasa13]

thats all i have to say about yellow - i laughed so much at that line

[@aglayash9179]

All this people went through breaking events last year. This boy was brave to go there and stand in front of the camera. I find it great that he tried to express himself,even though his English is not great.

[@TheHasa13]

yeah i agree, i wasnt being disrespectful or anything :)

[@commentsnipper]

yellow reminds me of coldplay...I am listening to yellow by coldplay now

[@rainmayercoffee]

I've been depressed lately. Feeling hopeless and discouraged. This has given me motivation to move on. I have a lot strengths.I am thankful.

[@maia9557]

The 'yellow' paragraph was simply a masterpiece !

[@minieboisvert367]

I think I have a crush on the scientist dude.

[@ikafitriyana]

Me too!

[@AdrianaMarcano]

oh my god me too! haha

You should see his graduation speech. Aha. So funny.

[@janebar01]

I am a beginning teacher next year- each of your videos have given me something to think about when I working with young people. Happiness will be a huge part of our learning!

[@520Lena]

Damn that apple opinion tho

[@hodanwarsame142]

made me laugh! if he was talking about pears, that would've definitely hit home a tad more. :-)

[@Lili_Jade53]

My strength is fighting off the pain everyone brings to me every once and a while

"Focus on the happiest memories of life" That's how you produce a Patronus.

"But as you see I'm here and I've got work to do"😢💞 yaas girl😢💓

[@KBRUJIC]

that guy just needs to eat a good apple

[@KBRUJIC]

your right, but you have to admit they are a great ery day snack especially if you experiment with how you like to eat 'em. some people like fluffy apples, some like an apple cut up and left to cool off for a min, some people like them cold, some room temp, some like em peeled and you even can make them dynamic, just cook'em. apples are the best, not to mention the different kinds - pink lady oofft!!!! cant go wrong

[@saige6442]

Kris Brujic did you just have a conversation with yourself??

[@djnarwhale1277]

@@saige6442 someone probably deleted a comment that he replied to

[@alyssaoconnor]

Absolutely! A good apple is never bland, a properly ripened (grown for taste not for shipping) on the tree apple is soo sweet, fresh and yummy.

[@BeverlySesink]

Theses Science of Happiness videos need to be promoted! Such excellent encouragement resources.

[@-comment]

My most treasured strengths are my sense of humor, positive mental attitude towards life, and being good at remembering numbers, mostly for facts.

[@xSylviaMoonx123]

3:02 she is absolutely gorgeous.

[@welldonefromhereon]

inside and out

[@jenn13jenn13]

You are too kind...thank you...

HiddenSims I agree 120% she is the mean of beauty. 😊

[@G88ManNZ]

Totally agree. A beautiful heart.

[@lexithevenin7823]

So true 😍😍😍

[@girlmusician24]

its amazing how tragedy can become triumph sometimes. Here are people who are affected by some pretty adverse situations and yet they still find ways to enjoy life and be blessings to others. The world needs to take a page out of these peoples books and look at life from a different spectrum.

[@hotpinkelephant11]

I love that guy's description of why apples are neutral.

[@cat5220]

I love the guy that wrote about apples!!! :D

[@JessCtheUnicorn]

I just posted this video in one of my discussion posts for school. As a student of mental health, it's important to find moments of positive psychological changes outside of school materials as well as in class discussions. I'm so happy to have found SoulPancake's Science of Happiness videos as wonderful examples of positive reinforcement :)

[@leozendo3500]

Someone knows presence, authenticity, identity management, and then truth.

[@Participant]

WATCH: Our Science of Happiness experts put positive thinking to the test this week. Is your glass half-full?

[@amgb1267]

Is there a chance the graphic explanation is wrong or mixed up?

[@endlessloveoxox]

Always think positive! What I like about myself is that I've grown to place God before anything and everything! :)

[@kaytea0963]

The girl at 3:00 is so beautiful! I couldn't look away from her gorgeous green eyes.

[@jenn13jenn13]

Katie, this made me smile. Thank you!

[@atiyyaotamere7130]

my happiness is seeing myself in a positive way graduating from college and not back down .My strength is to do good in school and try my hardest to get a good education from school.

[@irekobayashi6893]

This let me thinking, although I like to consider my self a positive person, I don't usually (if not at all) think of my strengths

[@lolanr01]

Julian's ears make me happy. They're CUTE.

[@AntiCaesarReal]

Grumpy Cat can't be happy, what is this sorcery?

[@voyance4elle]

your profile pic makes me happy :)

[@lolanr01]

[@voyance4elle]

:D

[@laraesque]

So my biggest strength is my creativity and willingness to try something new. (Does that count as two?!) I just finished writing the screenplay for a science fiction movie whose proof-of-concept trailer debuted at Comic-Con, and I am starting a children's book that I hope will help children and parents alike. I'm so excited! I used to be a veterinarian, a Web designer, and breeder of endangered toads. I've started making jewelry, and I want to finish writing my novel.

[@SusannahPerri]

"What you think of me is no concern of mine." One of my favorite expressions that took me years to fully embrace. But for those who do embrace that concept, it frees you up to fully be yourself without trying to be what others want you to be! You asked for a video response; I made this one minute short video a few months ago which I also titled, "Is you glass half empty or half full?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnOqgp2wbLCXgtU, which I filmed at 1:30am after spending a day getting lost several times in New York City. When I finally found my way back to my rented apartment (I was only there for a week), I realized I was exhilarated despite the string of failed attempts to go in the right direction but constantly going the wrong way. Instead of fretting, I kept my head about me (watching out to avoid any danger), and used each situation as an opportunity to just wander and explore a few blocks I had not planned on finding and it was truly one of the best days of my life!

[@leahbinkley9265]

Soul Pancake, thank you for creating such an inspiring, motivating, REAL place for people to come to. The world can seem so bad and negative self-talk can seem like reality... but it isn't! Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video gave me instant happiness.

[@juviaisbbg2728]

"because it looks very nice" PLS did he even try. Made me laugh tho

[@savethehumans7300]

whatever it holds, I am grateful for it all.

[@HoyumpaHouse]

Totally agree, though, there might be even more to it…like, feeling self-confident or feeling needed or helpful increases the feeling of happiness rather than simply looking on the bright side.

[@GreenBckGorilla]

Whenever my life gets a little sh*tty i watch some soul pancake and things are not so bad anymore

[@JohanesLeRatte]

Hey, I've always been curious about this "Test to Measure the Level of happiness" You guys have mentioned it in several of these videos. Could I take it? is it available somewhere? Hahah I'm just curious, lol.

[@melshen]

This is the Oxford built form most studies use - www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/nov/03/take-the-oxford-happiness-questionnaire

[@jessycertain3593]

I LOVE WHAT SOUL PANCAKE IS DOING WITH THEIR CHANNEL

[@MrCatBaggins]

This has got to be one of the best channels that I am subscribed to. Your videos are really thought provoking and very inspirational.

[@Ariananikita]

That's what I was thinking. All this seems to indicate is that there may be a positive correlation between sense of self-worth and stable affect.

[@bayyinablack]

I really REEAAALLLLYYYY REEAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY LOOOOVVVEEEE SOULPANCAKE!!!! With all the "MESS" that's out here on the internet I am EXTREMELY THANKFUL for you all! MUITO OBRIGADA!!!

[@mjsim1990]

Good vid, I think my biggest strength would be my determination. I used to be extremely out of shape and maybe depressed but then I found fitness. I started eating better and working out. At first, people make fun of me about it or say I couldn't have maintain it, and at times when I feel like giving up I would remind myself the very reason I made this choice for myself. Now, I have thrived and transformed myself to a better, healthier and happier person. Never give up because it will get better

[@meganhartman83]

I love all the positive videos that SoulPancake posts! They help make my day better.

[@HouseJug]

Can you ask the wonderful thankful lady how she inspires kids to enjoy learning? I would LOVE to know more about how she does it

[@anacool99]

am i the only one Who see the science guy's t-shirt switching colours? when the camera IS far the t-shirt is blue and creen, but when It became closer It IS blue and light blue! i'm cea.

[@nkghost]

Julian as the scientist is a beast.

[@CatalysticEdits]

[@mightyjoe722]

Shared and commented, Thanks for the time spent and the positive turn in individual perceptions.

[@Angelaheartssss]

Well, when people ask me what is my strength, or what I am good at, I usually don't have anything to say. When they ask about my weakness, I usually have a whole list in my head....

[@kgzuig]

I love the colorful paintings around.

[@ryankirkpatrick9288]

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S ON THAT TEST SOOOO BADLY!

[@cmor6317]

[@mariah_7654]

Need to make a list of my strengths and post it on my wall so that I'll see it when things go wrong. Maybe it will help me focus on the positives in my life.

[@ProRallyDriver]

I love this channel! And you are awesome man! Keep the good work!

[@littlewolfy111]

I'm wondering the same thing as Lulu. How are you guys measuring these peoples' happiness levels?

[@bazooka-sharks-parker]

that guy about apples is a magician , i need him to comment on all other fruits

[@kayydoubleyou11]

Soulpancake videos squeeze my heart :')

[@jamesward2126]

Well done, Julian. Really good.

[@theresalynn007]

I absolutely love these science of happiness videos! Just watching them makes me so much happier :) soul pancake really is the best!

Happiness is directly related to the amount of bacon there is.

[@11Tinagee]

This guy is adorable.

[@wsade1]

I friggin love this channel! Keep up the spectacular work! :D

[@sirsnuggodaggocreastonjr7474]

Loved the Video 🧑🏿‍🦰

[@fairyfaiy]

love the apple story, well told. A+

[@DivergentDroid]

I'm a Glass Half Empty kinda guy. If I know my glass is half empty, my goal is to get it filled up to the top. Most people who prefer a Glass Half Full think they are happy and content because they still have a half of glass of water. This is a delusion as we know the water will run out, they will die of thirst. The people with Glass Half Empty won't give up on the struggle to keep that glass filled and will survive longer.

[@hazelhh1]

Soul Pancake - Your videos are so awesome, that you make me smile like never before :D

[@sroctavrn]

Great job, Soulpancake! :)

[@emmikch4254]

i think the graphs in the end are switched, the variable group should be the one who‘s happiness increases more

[@chp8483]

This is incredible! Where so you find these people? This project is very inspiring :)

[@itzmeehn4nh1]

I can't stop clicking the Like buttons and the Share buttons!

[@savethehumans7300]

My glass is not a glass its more like a grail made of Oreo cookie with the frosting swirled through it. And its so full of abundance that it cannot contain all of it. its not half of anything good or bad. it just is, and its beautiful.
