thanks
Thanks 😊
holy crap, thanks bro. I have to do a crappy ass assignment on this for uni and was about ready to end it trying to look for these.
When does she say the ten facts about happiness
@@sofiagomez5634 lmk if u get this answer 👏
Her class is amazing. Took it last year and it was extremely insightful.
Start watching at 12:33
I noticed that I REALLY liked this time and I appreciate you posting this for all of us to see and experience. THANK YOU!
Thank you. I'm naturally happy and now I understand the reason is I've been doing these points all my life.My biggest and it is the biggest flaw and biggest virtue is the last one on time. I think my lack of time is more an excuse than truth.
I went to a school with review boards. You got credit on the work you did, you chose your work, it was your chosen passion, your time spent was time affluence to the extreme- no grades attendance is moot unless it's a class you know is of benefit to You.
Fantastic.
Art school, of course. I say of course because it is innovative and unique.
I know that some people find her speaking style to be abrupt and too quick but she's a very smart woman. I think her brain works extremely fast and the tongue is just trying to keep up.
it seems like a nervous habit to me..speaking fast so she can get thru her presentation quicker....Slowing down would give her presentation more power.!
I'm a fellow at Yale right now, I heard about this on campus. Sitting here in my living room right now listening to this makes me feel like I'm back in my college psychology courses, enjoying learning the nuances of human behavior. RUclips (even the comment's section: I see some really deep thought) is a great way to connect even in a socially distanced world!
Her podcast>>>>>
I enjoyed listening to Professor Santos, our mind can be our best friend or it can become a living nightmare.
Our choice, right? Predominantly.

Eye opening and very grateful for this information -especially now - during quarantine- I'm so glad I saw you on Today!
I understand and agree with everything she says, although i have a few questions. How can a young student sleep enough if the 24hours of the day are sometimes not enough for all they need to get done?. How do you sleep well if your mind keeps thinking about how much you have to study or how many things you have in the to do list????. I dont think the problem resides in the daily practices of young students, i think the problem resides in the amount of work compared to the amount of time they are given to get it done. I think 24 hours a day are not enough for everything they need to do in a day...so i think the problem resides in the eduction system, take a look at Finland education system, you will see quite differences compared to the american system
12:33 it wojld have been great for her to say/group acknowledgement how cool this is.😍💚💚💚💚
I really enjoyed the speech and benefited from it a lot. thank you^^
Reading Walt Whitman and Tropic of Capricorn will be more valuable than this course for many, like it was for me.
nah
great speech and thank you for sharing.
I woud have like to see her slides. Excellent talk.
SHE'S A FEARMONGERER TODAY. UNFIT TO TEACH.
It's a free course on Coursera, you can get it all for free.
@@Olivia-cw8qn What.
Awesome 👏🏽
Amazing instructor
Thanks for posting
wow im so glad this had NO CAPTIONS
I agree with everything that she said but I also strongly feel that the “lifestyle” at colleges campuses another major contributor to their wellbeing. The environment can be very messed up like doing drugs, peer pressure, trying impress others, promiscuity, missing family and so on.
Are the slides she references available for viewing?
Excellent talk would have liked to see the slides she was referring to.
I think this is fantastic. I hope Laurie finds the ultimate teacher of happiness - Adi Da Samraj.
the ending is great
I always listen Dr Santos she is strong in her field I want to talk to Santos l like very much
Great speech
Who is here because Elder Holland mentioned it?
12:30 the lecture starts. Everything before that, is just her bragging about how popular her class was.
Is there further study on how happiness differ between introvert and extrovert? Does the same social interaction made introverts happier too?
They did seek to see if there were any differences in results for introverts and extroverts, and the results was still that they did enjoy the interaction. Dr. Laurie now has a podcast named "The happiness lab" and I highly recommend it! I
@@aliciagonzalez7907 where can I listen to this podcast?
Chippy here on RUclips
Even introverts need social interaction. Not as much as an extrovert, but you do need some. Small groups of friends, or one-on -one with a person you care about, is important.
Its true I am an introvert but I still love social interaction. That one day that I had a very positive social interaction with someone makes my day.
Knowing is the entire battle...if knowing means becoming. If you "know" but don't do...you don't know.
"the whole system is not delivering what it promised"...this is what we said in the 1970s when I went to college...a happy life is not the money , the cars, the status..it's what kind of person do you want to be.. a giving grateful farmer or a F-up wealthy nobody!!.... my husband and I taught our children by example...a happy productive life without a lot of money! We never kept up with the Jone's!! and we are all the better for it...Consumerism was not on our radar.!
good!
" Happy people prioritize social interaction". How about Introverts? I personally have to prioritize alone time, which is not easy in an extraverted society, but if I don't, I slowly implode.
This is a good talk, but I think Happiness means diferent things for different people.
True
Bc introverts are not happy.
@@thebestofrealmroyale7576 Aah I see. Sure, we'll let you believe that :D
I'm not a psychologist, but if I were to hazard a guess, I would think that even introverts benefit from social connection. I don't think an introvert's need for "alone time" precludes their need for social connection -- it can be both, at different times of your day / week / life. I would think even an introvert would not be happy if they were alone 100% of the time and had zero social connections. And I don't think she's suggesting that "alone time" is antithetical to happiness. I don't think she's saying if you want to be happy, never be alone. At least, that's not what I got out of it.
Why did the camera not show the slides!!!!????
It would have been better to follow along with the slides being showed ...
Yayyy 49:50 someone says...
Hii I am from India
When was this lecture given, and when was it uploaded?
End HOMEWORK! One should study while in the school, after that is home personal life.
Because homework exist we are unable to concentrate in class and be present, and always have that worry and insatisfaction in the back of our minds
Homework is the root cause of all my stress, unhappiness and lack of learning during the class in all my academic years
End it since preschool all the way to college!
a high school revolution!!!? not until parents change their value systems..if they value the Yale, harvard model things will never change...get the best education you can but don't do it for the money!!! how can things change if it's all about the $$$$$..it starts with the parents!
Thinking about children who stand up for climate emergency! I hope children will one day stand up and demand a change in schooling system that focuses on wellbeing and human potential! As a school teacher in Australia, I see the opposite that is often children are too lazy to do things in school. That is also a waste of human potential. Hope everyone can flourish ! Thank you for this amazing talk n Q&A after
Wow, how about that?
i was a people person until i came home from war... solitude, by myself and alone after retirement. to me that is paradise! people suck you can massage them in a conversation anyway you want. eventually you will wake up to breaking bad news....
Hey, thanks.

but it is fine just forget about it right!
speak so quickly ! My English pool ~
Hello
I reckon people didn't respond to the text message while they were having sex, because they were in the present moment. Not fair to say it's questionable data.
We are damaged, how can generations of damaged people grow happy people?
through intention... change the emotions you have on your menu to happier ones.
Before dismissing the possibility to transform, try it for yourself.
At about 5:20 she says "40% of college students report more than the average level of stress" and she characterizes that as a bad thing. Now, I understand that "average" (mean) and median are different things, but exactly what percentage of college students would you expect to report higher-than-average stress? It seems like 40% reporting more than average is about what I'd expect, assuming a relatively even distribution of stress levels.

The first question about millenial partying is a laugh.
Intuition is not the same as the mind lying to you. Mind and emotions can lie to you and what we lack today is tuning into intuition because we're so caught up in the extrinsic self. As much as the talk is helpful it is lacking focus on encouraging individuals to learn about their authentic self to truly experience meaning.
Lol...homeschool ... get sleep and get out off the hamster wheel.
"Not rocket science" ...true. These simple ideas used to be common sense.
There is nothing new in this presentation for people like myself who are familiar with spiritual and philosophical teachings. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who is also familiar with psych research, it can also be said that the world doesn't need psychological research to teach us what is universally and inherently true and that our own direct experience tells us. Focus on love, gratitude and forgiveness and the power of NOW and you will experience peace and happiness.
Research bolsters wisdom. Validates tradition.
Exist a type of teachers not researches it self that used theories and research that were made by others, I just was curious and opened ResearchGate and found many of scientists that have been built that theory...what I do not like particularly in this class that some in education community just using the results of work of others, and it is look that they are only making major conclusions and development in the subject...simply they are spreading the results of other truly scientists and researches by receiving major advantages from the dissemination
Students sleeping only 4-5 h? Constantly stressed by their classes? No free time? These are not the students I know...
She speaks too fast, cannot get a single word even with subtitles. Too bad.
You can change playback speed.
Lol, was watching at 2x (not sure if that is a good or bad habit). However there is a good trick if you feel like it is going to fast. Watch it even faster for a couple of minutes. Also attempt to try to understand it as much as possible while ignoring that you can't figure out exactly what was being said. Then go back and slow it back to your preferred speed you will find that it is much more manageable even for new content. Like getting off a highway when driving and it feels painfully slow even though it didn't feel like it before.
Try harder
Can she say Yale more?? Maybe she still can, by putting it in every sentence. But seriously ... too much, we get it. Good content, better content from her Coursera, but def not the best presentation, that last question answer made me think if that’s just what the top universities professors are doing/saying
and give credit to Berkeley who started a program called "the Science of Happiness" long before this ... and on Coursera, She's used all the Berkeley science and the experts they cite in their course, who actually participate in the course as speakers. Her offering piggy backs on the work they did, without a word of mention of this, in fact she makes it sound like she invented the subject, and is the mother of the revolution. The Berkeley project was launched in September 2014, and she started after 2016 !
She speaks SOO fast and does not breathe. I can not comfortably listen to her “ whatever “ style.
When you are as smart as she is your brain probably runs at super speeds (or caffeine) and she can’t even speak as fast as she thinks.
Please don't go for conceptual term called Happiness. Word is not thing. If you try to be happy, you will not be that. The thing that you are looking never exists, because you are conceptualized that feeling, but that's not real within your perception. What is real is your self, your unhappiness, your actions, your problems and challenges. Please see them with great attention. What you get out of this can't be explainable.
first thing is to slow down. harvard professor and all; you would think that in teaching slowing down is the best way to go. speed talking does not mean you are smart and it is no reflects on students requesting that you slow down. it's all new so- can i learn well first - so i can comprehend and use the info as fast as i can
what's the rush for. are you trying to get it over with as fast as possible.
📌RUclips has a very useful option to speed or slow down the playback rate of videos, under the 3 dots at top right.
This woman has the collective wisdom of the average 12 year old.
Money doesn't MAKE people happy?????????? WELL COLOR ME PINK!!!!!
It's not her wisdom, it's science.
You're a genius, Matthew 👏🏾
Honestly though. This speech is so basic and surface level. She is saying things that everyone already knows. No shit money doesn't make you happy but can you tell me why that is? Can you tell me why we still strive for it regardless? Can you tell me how to rewire the reward system in my brain? Can you tell that to our government and our society who values money and looks down upon anyone who fights against that notion? But what are the steps? How dose it translate in real life? Evey single person in life and their situation is so different and personal. Just telling people to do these things and them trying to do it isn't a solution. They need to find ways to put these things into practice that are specific to them and their situations. We need to help rewire our brains and our society. It's so much more complicated than listing out things that make people happy and telling them to do those things.
The lady is such a horrible speaker but the content is so interesting that I ended up watching the full video nonetheless.
Laurie you are very smart, but you speak very fast
