TED: Daniel Kahneman on Happiness

Daniel Kahneman at TED

One of the world’s most respected psychologist and winner of a Nobel Prize for Behavioural Economics, Daniel Kahneman talks about:

1. Why “Happiness” is a redundandant concept and needs to be replaced with other words that fully describe the myriad experiences that we currently put under the happiness umbrella
2. The difference between “experiences” and “memories of experiences”
3. And how this difference influences our choices on everything from the surgeon we choose for a major surgery to a vacation.
