My Favorite TED Talks on Happiness
/I recently went through some of my favourite TED and TEDx talks, and noticed quite a few of them were on the topic of happiness.
I was a little surprised as I love learning about a variety of different topics. However, it seems that happiness is what matters to me most.
Both spiritual traditions and science now agree - happiness is a skill we can develop through conscious choice.
As the Dalai Lama once said:
“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
