The Remarkable Simplicity of Happiness | Marlena Brothers Frank | TEDxBrookdaleCommunityCollege

Are you waiting for something to change before you'll be truly happy? This profound TEDx talk challenges that notion, inviting us to explore the Remarkable Simplicity of Happiness. Drawing wisdom from a 100-year-old grandmother, this psychology professor unveils the keys to lasting joy: being present, expressing gratitude, and fostering deep connections. Dive in and rediscover happiness not as an elusive goal, but as a simple choice within our reach every day. With over 20 years of experience in psychology and personal well-being, Marlena has interned, studied and worked with renowned experts in the field, including Dr. Herbert Benson and Dr. James Gordon. She holds an M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University and is currently completing certification in executive coaching through the Teleos Institute. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
