I love TED. Using the app on your phone or the site and searching psychology tags yields tons of great talks, though they don't seem to have much on psych meds, which I would like to see. I thought Dan Gilbert's talk was very good.

The timing of this post is auspicious for me. I am coming out of a hellacious year. I got nothing I wanted and sh*t by the shovelful. I feel anger loosening it's grip. I am far better off now. Thank you so much for posting this talk. I found it galvanizing.

Yeah,
This was very interesting. I've given up on trying to persue happiness. I've realized that all I was trying to persue was security.

Exactly. What the Greek called 'asphaleia': 'safety', literally: 'not stumbling or falling'.
