I think what a lot of people don't get about happiness is that some of the best moments in life are not when we did something amazing for OURSELF, but rather FOR others. Sure it is about one's general well-being and satisfaction, however, what also plays a part in it is contribution. Just like Martin Seligman has said many times over, including in his famous TED talk, in order to live a life of, not only engagement, but also meaning, we need to know our highest strengths and to use those to contribute and serve
Really inspiring and a joy to watch two great thinkers talking about how to the make the world a better place through realistic optimism and happiness :) I want to be a perma-person!
This is a beautiful conversation with two caring and mature scholars. I pledge my support for the well-being movement. 💪
