Change your Mind Change your Brain: The Inner Conditions...

Google Tech Talks
March 15, 2007

ABSTRACT

If happiness is an inner state, influenced by external conditions but not dependent on them, how can we achieve it? Ricard will examine the inner and outer factors that increase or diminish our sense of well-being, dissect the underlying mechanisms of happiness, and lead us to a way of looking at the mind itself based on his book, Happiness: A Guide to Life's Most Important Skill and from the research in neuroscience on the effect of mind-training on the brain.

Speaker Bio: Matthieu Ricard, a gifted scientist turned Buddhist monk, is a best selling author, translator, and photographer. He has lived and studied in the Himalayas for the last 35 years...

Another absolutely amazing video from Ricard. Following the one at the TED Conference, Ricard once more shows how to set grounds to a path leading you to genuine serenity in your life.

I absolutely recomend this video and appreciate the funny Ming and everyone else at Google for sharing this inspiring talk. Thank you all!
