Dan Gilbert: Why are we happy? Why aren't we happy?

Well, we need our hands aswell, as tools to create what we imagine in our brains, but yeah, it's a condition. For all I know the dolphines could have a prefrontal cortex or equivalent also, but they lack the external tools on their body that we benefit from, but which probably makes them a lot happier than us:)

Don't worry be happy.. xD

I liked this talk very much.

sociopaths!

so prefrontal cortex is the condition for civilization? isn't it?

having the answers - being correct - is offensive... a lot of the time, for a lot of ppl.

suicide. to say ''the choices they made'' is blame. it is sometimes exactly that blame and fault of being bad and wrong and so much misunderstanding that drives ppl to the extreme.

Can you imagine that some people have regretted their choices so bad that they took their lives ?

Sometimes knowledge can be a life- saver.

GREAT !

all of this fast and over-articulated talk happens to cause a sigh. sigh...

i was born with a heavy grief (all of the answers). it was a really big problem.

i thought solving problems would make me happy.

it does.

wants. haves. needs.

@mindnumber9

To me, the more I learn, the more I realize how much I truly don't know! Born with all the answers, hah.
