Stumbling on a great presentation

I was sent a link to this TED talk last week (thank you, Hilary).

Daniel Gilbert's presenting style is great – he talks to us all.But beyond that, his subject is fascinating. Happiness is that ‘holy grail’ for so many people. Those who love their jobs are the envy of the rest of the world. These are the people who can’t wait to get to work. They see every day as a great experience and love what they do.

"Wish I could be that lucky" is what most of us would mutter, but if we look at the research in Daniel Gilbert’s presentation – its really our choice. Loving what we do is entirely up to us. We can choose to be happy – or not.

I was so intrigued by this presentation that I bought Daniel's book, 'Stumbling on Happiness'. Even the cover made me smile. It arrived yesterday and is at the top of my reading pile.

I'll let you know what I think once I've read it.
