One of the best videos i have ever seen on internet soprb , osm and energetic.Luv a lot ;) Keep doing this guyss. #Spread_Happyness
Memorize Academy this make great sense great video 😄😄😄😄
Awesome :) it's also make me feel happier too ^^
happy songs
The videl is a garbage. Im only here because of my school
Happiness goes beyond being positive, it's more about having an invincible and unshakable mind.
Couldnt agree more
Health plays a big part in happiness too. Eat healthy and exercise regularly and you will automatically feel better!
👍👍👍
Agreed
Being grateful everyday (pick at least 3 things you are grateful for) and doing exercise of any kind daily (yoga, walking, lifting, etc) that just takes 15 to 30 minutes will improve happiness
I feel this video is on target. Happiness is an important element in life. Many people rely on resources to bring happiness.I feel it comes from within and how one takes care of themselves. When a person is healthy, it can bring upon happiness. I am a happier person than I once was as I have taken steps to improve my well-being. I have set boundaries and practice self-care. I feel I can become happier using additional tools presented in this video.
Of all the "how-to-achieve-happiness" advice videos i have watched. THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL!! Made sense because of the reality that is happening around us
I've never thought of happiness as a skill. It's neat to think of it that way.
if you can have control over your thoughts and emotions, you'd be very surprised to see how much impact it can have over your happiness. the best way that i recommend is meditation. starting with 5 minutes everyday and then 10 minutes and more later on you will be way more happier and in peace with yourself. consistency is the key.
I'm not feeling well today and this video notified me. What a coincidence it is! Thanks for the vid!
You're welcome :)
I am writing book on happiness! and I found this video very very true! I appreciate the Memorize Academy for making such a Great Vido! Love from Pakistan
Feeling happy just by watching this.
"avoid having a lack of close friendships"
yeah but what if you're trying your best everyday and people still hate you or dump you after they've used you.
lae1819 you just didn't meet the right people yet.. good luck! don't give up and stay true to yourself ^^
lae1819 it's especially hard when you have social anxiety :/
It feels like the negative people are easy to find and the best people are far away
I really like the video, it is very instructive. I am a Catholic and it have help to cope with the worst moments of my life. Also I have learned how to be a better person in life because most of the tips presented here are the base of my faith. My ultimate goal is being my best and the happier I can be loving God, myself and the people that surround me. Cheers to everyone love you all. :-)
Thanks for watching Miguel :)
An option to sending someone a "Thank You" email would be writing them a note by hand and sending it to them. Your words in your own handwriting will mean more than any text on a computer screen.
Definitely! That's such an easy way to make someone's day :)
good vid to have when ur feeling down
This video is really helpful for my English Language Arts School work
awesome video as ALWAYS 😍❤ i live for this channel 💙
This is some powerful info, and it explains some of what I know about me and also others I have known!

Thank you for making this video! Taking the time to teach the public about positive psychology is a wonderful thing to do. Education is the power each of us need to be happy and live full out!
You're welcome Nancy. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Helpful. Thank you.
Thanks..i was needing this kind of video:)
Awesome, thanks
My DNA gives me zero happiness, so that 40% and 10% are all I've got. I work hard at filling my gratitude journal, volunteering, and making time for my hobbies.
I have tried so many hobbies and nothing sticks so I can not even do that . I have no clue what happy feels like . I clearly am here searching out what does happy feel like just like you . I am about to just give up and just stop fighting the truth the truth is we feel sonmuch pain and darkness that we are not messed up we are a messed up response to a messed up situation this is not us broken it is us being honest . We are not to blame and had no justice given to us to give a ending to our pain others made and walked away from leaving us holding the gun in one hand and the hope of a map to the end of the pain but the X marks the spot is MIA ( Missing In Action) . So we keep searching . I hate that I am just one of the billions more abused people just like me. I am sorry .
Excellent summary of happiness research, thank you!!!
Great video! I really enjoyed it.
Thank You,
it's true in my life.
Fantastic, very motivating!

The hardest thing to find in life is happiness - money is only hard to find because it gets wasted trying to find happiness.

Memorize Academy well what I have realized is no matter what the happiness index checks and shows; happiness is a choice. A person consciously needs to choose happiness.
That's right, it requires intention and purpose. Unfortunately, most people don't think of it like that.
I want to learn practice gratitude
Wowww thanks😊😊😊

So, what is the word to show that which satisfies the conditions of "feeling hunky dory" 'having all the money you desire' 'not seeing the trouble in life' and 'having it last' destination'? Because those are the things I want. is there a term for that?
1) studies show that we always want more money, so we are never truly satisfied with what we have. After $75,000/year salary, we don't really see an increase in happiness.
2) It's hard for us to enjoy and appreciate the good parts of life, when we don't experience struggle and experience what hardship is. And that hardship makes us more resilient in the end, allowing us to remain better off when more hardships occur.
3) A lot of things we think will bring us happiness (if I get this, I will be happy) typically don't in the long run because we get used to it (hedonic adaptation). Not that we shouldn't aspire for goals, but those shouldn't be a baseline of "I'm doing this to make me happy" because then you're going to assume it will always make you happy, then you become distressed when the experience tapers off.
I'm not saying that it's wrong to want the things you want, because even money can bring you happiness if you spend it in certain ways (i.e. helping others or you need it for basic necessities), but what you may need to think about is what is your motivation for getting those things besides "it will make me happy". For instance, if I wanted to lose weight because I wanted the perfect body type and that will make me happy, I may not feel like I ever achieve that even if I do lose the weight I want to and I may be worse off in the end. But if I wanted to lose weight because I wanted to be healthier and be able to stick around a long time for my family, and I value family and health, I will probably be much happier with my results and the process in the end.
I hope this helps
Amazing, helpful video! Thank you very much! 😄👍🏻

YUP ..... GOOD..!!!
Thanks very much , this video sintetizes the objective of The Science of Happiness! It's amazing! . Please I have a suggestion for the people like me whose our mother language is Spanish could you subtitled ? I can help if you wish.
Hi Mario, I'd love it if you added a Spanish translation!
You can click the option beneath the video to add your own translation. When it's approved it will then be available to everybody who'd like Spanish subtitles. And you'll be given credit in the video description too :)
Yes I could do it, but you say beneath the video? I can't find it! Could you explain me?
I'm not sure what device you're using Mario, but when you view on a desktop there's a 'More' option (next to 'Share'). When you click 'More' you'll get a dropdown list that includes 'Add translations'.
Here's the CZcams support article about it: support.google.com/youtube/answer/6054623?hl=en
