[JT2012a]

Anyone know where the rest of the interview is?

[JT2012a]

I really like the way the interview challenges Seligman's view. This is very rare in media these days, especially in Aust. Well done to the interviewer. Its not that I disagree with Seligman in any way but I do think we need to challenge people more on what they claim as 'fact'.

[trustingChristalone]

Dear BBC...i'm agreeing with "flexible" & also with "Eksit"---

I'll check back for an answer to the question posed to you---3 yrs ago! cheers!

[bavalina]

.... and part 4 -?

:/

[technotony1227]

as brits would say, this BBC interviewer is a "bloody bastard"...

[JT2012a]

@technotony1227 but nevertheless good for democracy. You should challenge things!

[MalMcCullough]

Typical Pom Interviewer being pessimistic and cant see it.

[Ivorybird09]

I heard about people killing themselves out of misery but I have never heard about people killing themselves because they felt happy or recently learned how to be happy. What is more "dangerous"? I truly like the fact that they bring lessons on emotional security to schools. Particularly Teens need that.

[steakabuser]

where is part 4?

[chadmdixon]

Its the geat debate between a philosopher (british interviewer) and the psychologist (dr. seligman)--One seems to only pose questions while the other tries to answer each one. It would better if both asked questions and both answered questions.. By doing this, I think you'd have a better debate and they would actually go somewhere. Just my thought.

[EksitGhost]

The interviewer first describes the stuff Seligman talks about "banale". Then he, quoting a sociologist, wonders if Seligmans program is "dangerous". Finally, he refuses to acknowledge the research that shows that the brits are more depressed than other Europeans.

I think the guy decided to disagree with whatever Seligman would say when he woke up that morning.

[spasibaspasibavic]

I don't think the interviewer is trying to show that the stuff Seligman talks about is bunch of shit. I think the interviewer is simply trying to get more into the problem by introducing "what other people would think" (which is not necessarily what himself is thinking). He he simply introducing different and opposed points of view!

[nspeert]

that's why its called hardtalk.

[cybersphere]

Dr Seligman doesn't look that happy

[totallybarefoot]

But he has that pretty flower on his lapel, so I think he must have been happy getting dressed for the interview.

I think the interviewer brought him down.

[RemsUnheardofArmy]

lol

[chickenhouse]

He's a great interviewer. It's called HARDtalk for a reason. He asks the tough questions.

[chewtheredpill]

seligman is a distinguished academic. The interviewer is clearly not academically inclined and he comes across as a retard.

[MidstreamHorse]

this interviewer is demented.  he is not even listening to what Seligman is saying at all.

[flexibleoptimism]

Dear BBC, Great channel, great interview, thanks for posting this; however- where is the end of the segment? Also, the audio is not synced with the video. Thanks
