- You already possess the tool you need to control your own happiness. Emma Seppälä explores the science behind harnessing your state of mind and how it can ultimately lead to success.
“Thank you for giving me my life back,” shared one veteran who was helped by Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., to overcome trauma during a study that used non-traditional ways to help veterans successfully cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. In her new book, The Happiness Track, Dr. Seppälä shares how to apply the science of happiness in one’s life in order to accelerate success (www.emmaseppala.com/book/). As it turns out, happiness is not as elusive as it once seemed. Using findings from cognitive psychology and neuroscience, Dr. Seppälä simplifies happiness so that anyone can enjoy it. As the Science Director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, Dr. Seppälä is a “leading expert on health psychology, well-being, and resilience.” She’s a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today and Scientific American Mind. She’s the founder and editor-in-chief of Fulfillment Daily, a news site dedicated to the science of happiness.

This was a great talk. My son-in-law, an Iraq veteran, was aided greatly by the breathing techniques presented. As he benefited, my daughter, their children, and I also gained downstream. Great approach.
Sudarshan Kriya has been promoted in India for ages and by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar who runs the "Art of Living" foundation in Bangalore promoting yoga, meditation and ayurveda. Excellent Ted Talk. Thanks Dr. Seppala. Great work and contributions.
To all veterans and armed services people: I SALUTE YOU💐💐💐1000 thanks is not enough for your sacrifice.

Thank you Emma. I'm way far from having experienced such violent traumas, but on my modest level, the continuous attention to my breath, being kind to what I feel is the best stuff I ever initiated in my life, 5 y. ago. Among some residual personal crappy behaviors, I am much less reactive and therefore somewhat more sociable and efficient.
I learnt so much from this Video by Emma. Thank you Emma!
