B- Ted talk imo, very inspiring but too simplistic and seems to lack facts.
10% 90%… where did you get those numbers?!!
Very pessimistic about the helping profession.
Psychologists get thrilled? You are suffering from cognitive dissonance my friend.
Have a good day, everyone! :)

Wow. Great Talk. I found this app that is based on this talk that really helped me change my mindset! https://itunes.apple.com/om/app/day21/id1017649537?mt=8
You ever hear a Ted Talk and think…Man! this whole concept this whole idea has been in my brain before on several different occasions but you never really pin point it or reinforce it into your everyday thinking and just treat it as a passing thought you may or may not be right about? thats what happened when i heard this talk
Who else is going to try the writing down 3 grateful things a day thing?
Awesome!
best talk ever.
Great speech and what a sense of humor! So thankful to come across this video that is the first gratitude on my list for today. :)
Every time I watch a great TED talk, I feel I have seen the best, only to be bettered by the next talk. This man is brilliant, the way he captured my attention right from the first second, incredible talk!
Absolute brilliance. I watch this every week just to remain focused. Thank you sir.
This is my favorite Ted Talk.
I love this video it truly inspired me and change my view on things
Love this guy!
Really enjoyed this! :)
This man is big ,even so he still doing the research so detailed which average people won't think of
This speech is inspiring not because the content but the way he trying to promote behind all the words.
That's how you do it when you are trying to persuade people being happy is important. This is so good but Clearly not really influence much in my country which is a little sad
Best Ted Talk i've seen in a while
Everything he said is just so true =]
Im trying way too hard and overthink things
stay safe on sunny size :)
My Girlfriend Emotionally Attacks me because she is a Sociopath but on the upside, I get Lots of massages with happy endings
Thanks Brian :)
Think positive and then positive things will happen.

I believe yu sir and it works in my life…. thank you very much
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover the rich habits try Nadazma Millionaire Thinking Helper (just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
I don't know why I can't be positive 💔

Brian your are the BEST, I just got back from a job interview, the interview went very well , but I have no idea
why they did not offer me the job, I stay positive and think, there is a better job offer coming around the corner
I am just waiting for it. and stay happy lol… thank you
Great advice, I have been watching this video repeatedly and it really helps if you actually do the work of putting his advice into practice. You can push back against your negative mindset and it is fantastic when you do.
the last time i tried a daily positive happy illusion, i was waken up being mugged at broad daylight. I was hospitalize and lost all my cards n id
Goals are dreams with a deadline. Kudos BT your audios and my iPod got me thru on the "sunny side" of being a clerk for the post office..moons ago
when young we live with our dreams when old we live with our conscience.
You are correct
What about when someone you love is ill? How can you be happy about that?
Thanks Brian, that's so helpful and I will be always dwell on positive mode so when I find myself sinking right in negative pattern of thoughts I could just flip switch right back to positivity and optimisim which certainly leads to wellbeing. Im already positive but that pretty much increased my very positive attitude, im so grateful to learn all this. Thanks !!
