  • To be happy all you need to do is watch the documentary Finding Joe, seriously they tell you everything from Tony Hawk, to Buddhist Rinpoche, to Rashida Jones. youtube.com /watch?v=QTVKmZZN39I&feature=y­outu.be

    Well, not quite. A person meditating, like myself who has been meditating for eighteen years, may not have thoughts during a session, but still experiences positive emotions like bliss. On the other hand, a person in coma has no thoughts and experiences no emotions. Therefore, we would not call him or her a "permanently" happy person :)

  • awesome :)

  • I'm not a student but I do like psychology and this Dr. makes a lot of sense.

  • I am mesmerized by Dr. Siegel's eyes - kind, sincere eyes.
