Martin Seligman Authentic happiness discussion

TVO program. Interesting discussion about happiness and positive psychology.

[beldonhuang]

Indeed, the same as what psychologist Oliver Sacks mentioned in his famous book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, regarding the purpose and use of psychology, it is questionable and debatable that psychology should only be used to identify people's weaknesses, deficits and problems. Besides curing diseases and diagnosing psychological diseases, psychology is just as capable of highlighting individual strengths and improving our lives for the better, just as what Martin Seligman is doing. This is what we need!

This is life changing information. I’m a psychology major and this is by far the most interesting and inspiring part of psychology that I have studied. You have to be open minded in order to understand this theory not closed off while being distracted by the audio quality 😒 ...who cares! This info can be used to heal many....

Listening to him speak makes me feel like I'm listening to an ASMR video.

[nihonbunka]

I think that the video has been speeded up. I am not sure by how much.

I'd choose flow.

The Japanese are big on correcting weaknesses.

[MsCheburashki]

why not wisper the whole interview through and then bring the sound on the video a little down still

[Soave]

Interesting how he seems to be selling an answer

[DrAnna-qbpu]

When you know Seligman's true speaking voice, this is torture to listen to. Speeded up he sounds quite demented. Why do that? Why mess up quality content with tech meddling? Positive psychology is not enough to get you through this.
