- Want to be happy, watch this talk!
In this funny talk, Prof Raj reveals the simple secret of a happy life, based on his years of research shared in one of the most popular online courses ever "A life of happiness and fulfilment"
By using the audience as a research subject, Raj shows how each one misses an important point when it comes to happiness.
Raj Raghunathan (aka Dr “Happy-smarts”) is the Professor of Marketing at the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas, Austin. A researcher and author, Raj teaches a very successful course on Happiness around the world and his book "If You’re So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy” explores the habits that lead to happiness and reveals the traits of people that can get in the way of happiness. An associate editor at the Journal of Consumer Psychology and guest Associate Editor at the Journal of Marketing Research, Raj’s work has been cited in leading publications like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and Self magazine.
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
Great talk Prof Raj! I would highly recommend the course on Coursera as well. Can be life changing. Cheers from South Africa
What course? I need a link or the course's title.
I’m a multimillionaire and just sold my supercar. My happiness didn’t change. I’m happy working, going to the gym, spending time in my camper van, eating out, travelling and watching Netflix
Hey dear multimillionaire ............ How about sending me few millions? Wouldn't change anything in your happiness but would add a lot in my happiness :) . BTW if you can't send me, its okay. But how about teaching me, "How to earn millions"? That way I can make my own ;)
Awesome, Raj! It's great that you created a TedTalk about this topic, way to go! :) Btw, I'm really enjoying your course, I'm learning a lot and I feel super motivated to follow all of your advice :) Cheers from Mexico.
Clear, interesting, and motivating -- with a smile and applause from me at my desk here in Houston (Texas, USA).

Great talk! I loved your Coursera course (highly recommend it), and this was a nice reminder for me to go back and review that material. :)

Aloha!! Great presentation.
Where are the videos for smart and happy people?
Prof Raj, great Talk!
Come to Serbia and make us happy :-)
Thank you for what you do! Your student from Ukraine
The only mistake you could make about happiness is to make it a goal or necessity or daily pursuit, because if you do so and someday you fail to do this thing, you would blame your lack of consistency or regularity as the rock of hindrance that stops you from happiness. But it is the maniac obsession of you that does stop you.
Buying something cheap, or something expensive doesn't make me happy. That makes me either satisfied or not satisfied. It fulfills my requirements or it doesn't. I am still not sure why he said '70 dollars would make me happy in the long run." That made the least sense to me, to be true.
And, the most important thing - the thing he calls 'Happiness Paradox' is itself derived by an innocent assumption that people are always rational, or people always know what they want, or what they don't want. They don't. Sometimes, they have this clarity, many a times, they feel lost. And they choose different things on different occasions (or in different context), which even psychology supports. People even say they want their cities clean, but they hardly go up there to show their contribution. Most don't. So that means they are in 'cleaning paradox'?
PS - This entire Ted Talk is just first chapter of the book. Is that it in the entire book, I wonder?
Nice Talk Prof Raj, Aloha is my new motto since Your classes on Coursera. Hi from Belgium
A refresh on the fundamental happiness paradox.
Such a great teacher love him. During corona lock down, i found your course and it will build mental resilience.
Fantastic video by a top happiness gutu

I like the talk and I also the Coursera class. Thank you, dr Raj.
Amazing! Although I think a better way should be found to cunduct the surveys, because they lieee. I know that either by not realising, being lazy, scared or by not knowing the impact of their soul killing careers, the stats are closer to 3 out of 10, who would sacrifice for the career that really makes them happy.

Happiness is a subjective whereas money and material aspects of life are quantifiable. so I guess people in a transactional world go after quantifiables that they can exchange for happiness ( like money, eating, travel, house , car etc) in life rather than this vague aspect Happiness in life.Once a person has made such a choice, this trend continues all thru the life and they can not extricate from this mindset even after they have accumulated lots of these quantifiables. Very few people pause to think anew. So the life goes on , under a misplaced choices made early in life , may be till retirement .
