This was a very interesting lecture by this man. Have you read the book?

Christy -- I'm about half way through the book now. The theme is that many of the things you intuitively think you know about happiness, are wrong. For example: people who are severely handicapped aren't "happy" or, suddenly having a lot of money would make you happier.

I read the somewhat related, "The Happiness Hypothesis" last month. I highly recommend it.
