Videos of talks:

  • Srikumar Rao: Plug into your hard-wired happiness. A wonderful 20 minute talk about accessing happiness you already have in you and your life, and magnifying it to new heights.
  • Dan Gilbert: Why are we happy? An excellent 20 minute overview of the ways in which the choices we make in our lives, while aiming at happiness, fail to make us happy.
  • Nic Marks: The Happy Planet Index. A call to measure countries with a happiness index. When numerous studies unilaterally show that greater income does not translate to higher well being, why should GDP matter?
  • Barry Schwarts: The Paradox of Choice. It turns out that having more options in life can make one worse off: less happy, more regretful, and more stressed.

The Journal of Happiness Studies:

  • 10 years of peer-reviewed publications on the topic of subjective well-being. [link]
