@tyche1234 well then you don't sound like your alone... I think he's giving a general statement about people without any interaction.

[tyche1234]

He is not completely correct. Who says you can't be happy alone? His bias is too strong. Evidently he did no work with people that do not live in the city. I am alone and VERY happy. I enjoy my loneness. Yes, I have family and I am a happy person. I determine when I want to be with people. Maybe a few times a month. The phone is sometimes just an interruption to me. My life is full with animals, horses, dogs and cats. Family lives across the street and a couple of miles away.

I hope that we (modern-day society) are not considering Dan as an expert on happiness.

He's talking about a "happiness" that is causal.

The real question is where and when is happiness occurring? Find that answer, and you will never go back to maintaining your "Emotional Life" as he's prescribing.

I cannot hear the sound. Perhaps it is my computer problem, but other Youtube videos play with sound for me today.
