Vin Walsh and a panel of experts discuss the psychology and the neuroscience of happiness.
Vin Walsh is a Professor of Human Brain Research at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL.
Julia Christensen is a Newton International Postdoctoral Research Fellow at City University, specialising in the neural underpinnings of emotional expertise.
Morten Kringelbach is a professor of neuroscience at the universities of Oxford and Aarhus, Denmark. His research uses pleasures such as food, sex, drugs and music to understand pleasure and well-being in the human brain.
Joe Gladstone is an Assistant Professor at University College London. Named one of the top 30 people under 30 in Finance by Forbes Magazine, Joe's research draws from both Behavioural Economics and Consumer Psychology to understand how we can help people to improve their financial decisions.

Hedonic Adaptation is the big killer of happiness. The cure is to keep changing/varying the things that bring us joy and slowly improving our levels of well-being like the last speaker said.
But its a reliever of pain too. It's the same mechanism which works in the old philosophy "Time heals everything"
Well when I listen to Dr Julia Christensen, I am so happy, I would need a book.
Refreshing stimulating thank you
the first guy reminds me of Sherlock Holmes
i especially liked the James Brown music. :P
Many thanks, been searching for "what are the five signs of good mental health?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Soyailey Simplex Sovereignty - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to become successful and happy minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
Morten's section was the best for me (despite the naughty dig at Trump). Kind of suggests that wisdom, backed by science, is a form of happiness.
He could also easily play Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic). Too cool.
They cut out James Brown, he looked like a goof ball with no music playing, lol, good info though
Dude is like a cumberbatch from a parallel universe 🤩

Didn't get past the depressing babies at the beginning
we have a hindu god for dance called nataraja(king of dance?). who's statues are like what she said, has a round shape around his statue. pretty interesting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nataraja
Nandito ako dahil sa ethics namin HUHU WALA PA KO GAWA
The neuroscience behind happiness, as explored in this video, sheds light on the biological aspects of well-being, offering a comprehensive view of what contributes to a joyful life.
mmh...
Psychology is not a science. Two key criteria to qualify as a scientific approach to acquisition of knowledge are objectivity and quantification.
As regards objectivity, the very thing that makes psychological inquiry distinct from biological investigation is its (supposed, not typical) focus on the subjective causes of behavior. Subjectivity is, by definition, not objectivity. There are no objective means of assessing subjectivity absent reducing the experiential aspects of reality to objective (currently conceived as material/physical) aspects. If that is undertaken, then the subjective essence of a phenomena is reduced out of existence.
Second, quantification in psychology is a game, at best. We assign numbers to concepts lacking any measurable physical properties (think Likert scale). What, for instance, are the units of a thought? Absent units, there is no justifiable quantification for measure. More, our so-called scientific theories permit the parametric precision of "effect present/effect absent" (e.g., try predicting the numeric outcome on ANY memory study. You can't. All you can say is that if the IV is in play as hoped, the experimental condition will differ by some non-specifiable amount from a comparison condition). In short, our "numbers" are simply proxies for the words "more" and "less".

I start to hate google because of all its useless regulations. What is this??? 11:47
It's even simpler, the natural state is happiness, children are still close(r) to this.
If you can learn to really rest in your being, in pure consciousness, the mind slows down and you are happy, in other words, living in the moment.
But it's clouded by the mind that has become completely neurotic, through emotional suppression, a culture based on separation/domination, a stressful unnatural lifestyle, not trusting in life and believing in our thoughts and our apparent identity.
I think you got it totally backwards
Luckily this something you can test yourself, go into deep meditation and give the overworked and hurt mind a break, suffering will go and happiness will reveal itself.
Only the first part was well explained. Especially the last part was awful!!
The first guy was great.. The second presenter was a bit of a waste of time.. And that final thing was just ridiculous
shaddyrok You can say that what the 3rd presenter said is ridiculous, but it will not make his words less true. Based on what I experienced in my life lead me to the same conclusion. I used to be a marathon runner. Running was my life until a knee injury made it almost impossible for me to run anymore.The next year was hell for me and I felt very bad in the next 3-4 years. However I got used to my "new" body and moved on. This is just one of my many experience that supports his claim, but the best thing you can do is focus on this idea and see it for yourself.
shaddyrok agreed
I liked the third guy, but I agree on the other two.
I thought this was interesting, but I fail to see how research like this is beneficial. These intelligent individuals should be aiming their efforts towards the fight for survival.
You mean to say that the footage shown around 10:00 is "not beneficial"? Or what exactly are you alluding to, since timestamps are absent.
@@jesperburns that's an example of focusing on survival. One of few...too few in this otherwise well done presentation.
