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

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

[@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.

[@minieboisvert367]

I think I have a crush on the scientist dude.

[@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.

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

[@KBRUJIC]

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!

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

[@juviaisbbg2728]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)
