"Because here is the thing
Life is hard sometimes
It's painful sometimes
Scary sometimes
And sad sometimes
It's also overwhelmingly beautiful sometimes
And filled with happiness, joy and love sometimes
Life is live in the moment
But it seems to me that maybe our culture has us so focused on the pursuit of happiness
That we've forgotten to pay attention to the journey
To all the moments, for better or for worst, happen along the way" " Molly Countermine
Dr. Countermine is a person who is really cool! Her courses are just fantastic and unique.
Wow, the physical symptoms of anxiety she went through are EXACTLY what I went through! I even went to the ER like her, but I thought I was having a heart attack, not a stroke. Went to all kind of specialists because I had problems swallowing and constantly felt like something was choking me from within. Vertigo, exhaustion, lost the ability to drive. All because of anxiety. It messes up your brain and your body.
Molly is the best professor at Penn State!!!
Her lectures are invaluable! She really is the best x
One of my favorite professors!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
amazing! i always felt a pressure to be happy all the time, and that only leads me to feel guilty whenever i am not happy. i always felt that by telling us to be happy, we don't learn how to deal with unhappiness. this was a really cool talk!!!
Same
So true
Such an inspiration. Very lucky to be one of her students at penn state!
My daughter is one of her student and she adores her. Most beloved Professor at Penn State. After listening to her speak I can see why?
Life is the most beautiful gift ever. 💚 It has its ups and downs, but life's like that.
did you find happiness ? there is no happiness in life . there are moments of satisfaction and gratitude . the moment you loose gratitude the moment u start feeling all those bad emotions . the moment u stop working on ur self just let go everything will crumble down . in this life as humans , we will feel everything because life throws everything at you so you can learn and find ur target . just don't quit and have patience and keep going . don't run away but face , allow your self to feel , learn and face .its not only about deep breathing its about FAITH , have faith that nothing last , good doesn't last and bad doesn't last . okay whats the point of life then ? its to better yourself and make better choices , all the challenges when accomplished u will feel 'happy" accomplishments in life I call happy .

This is a fantastic talk. It resonant with me in many ways. Thank you for sharing.
I loved the quote from Brianna wiest and then I googled her and now I love her even more
thank you for sharing
This is great 👍
I personally think that many people get struct effected by social media.That things happened in Japan as well.
They should avoid it at first. I am shocked to hear that Many Americans get anxiety.
This is really good!
This is so great
When I was following the prescription our culture gives us to be happy
I m feeling just cool ,top to the bottom just cool
Amazing!
Thank you, Molly.
TANK YOU MOllY
Portuguese subtitles, please 🙏🏻
Very valuable and great talk. However, it is quite a shame that, in spite of being a college professor at a well-known university, Dr. Countermine gave the entire talk without providing any credit to Eastern religions which have propounded meditation and contemplative practices for centuries.
Going further, Buddhism specifically talks about a strand of "unsatisfactoriness" or Dukka in everyone's life - and how to understand and overcome it. The title has an uncanny resemblance to this concept and I highly doubt that Dr. Countermine was unaware of this.
In future, I hope Dr. Countermine endeavors to meet the same standards her students are expected to in requiring that they provide proper attributions in all their work.
amazing work Molly!!
Thanks Molly!!!!! I enjoyed this very much!

Easy for you to say.. Always the privileged tell the downtrodden to just cheer up..
That's not actually the message...the message is that it's ok to not cheer up!
I hate it when she moves all the time. It's distracting. I love the message though.
haha sorry it's the performer/musician in me!
That's what I thought too, Ma'am.
