Researchers at UC Berkeley are doing a wide range of studies exploring positive emotions and happiness. Experiments on the brain, nervous system, hormones, heart, and social interaction are indicating that human nature and the survival of the species rely much more on compassion, gratitude, trust, and altruism than previously thought. The theory of "survival of the fittest" is giving way to "survival of the kindest." Psychologists Dacher Keltner, Rudy Mendoza-Denton, and sociologists Rob Willer and Christina Carter discuss their work and its implications for society.

    "...a lesson in a new subject, one that is finally getting some attention...the study of happiness..."

    “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence” - Aristotle, ancient Greek philosopher, 384-322 B.C.

    Thumbs Up, mainly for discovering the research of Prof. Keltner here on YT. Look around, it gets more interesting.
