Tal Ben-Shahar creats a bridge between the Ivory Tower and Main Street – translating the rigorous research conducted in universities into accessible material that most people can apply in their personal and professional lives.
“Attaining lasting happiness requires that we enjoy the journey on our way toward a destination we deem valuable. Happiness, therefore, is not about making it to the peak of the mountain, nor is it about climbing aimlessly around the mountain: happiness is the experience of climbing toward the peak” – Tal Ben-Shahar
Think positively. Enjoy the journey. Coping. Learn from failure. Permit to be human being. Find out what you really want. Be on the upward spiral. Help by sharing. Help by shining.
Tal Ben-Shahar, one of the most intelligent persons in the world, who dedicates himself in teaching, goes over his lecture notes five times before each lecture. And the lecture videos (of Harvard University’s most popular course) are free on YouTube. What can we wish more?
Just search ”Harvard University Positive Psychology 1504” and begin. 🙂
