My thoughts on the following TedTalk include the fact that this "why, how, what" approach is the perfect example of soul food being of more value to leadership movements than the pursuit of eye candy.

Observe as "a day of immense tragedy had been turned into a day of hope, courage, and inspiration" (Asad Rezzvi). I especially appreciated the involvement of presence within his theory.
"90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world" (Shawn Achor). "THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE IS NOT HEALTH (Shawn Achor). "Dopamine also turns on the learning centers in your brain" (Shawn Achor). I have stood behind what is referred to in this video as the "revolution" of positive psychology for a few months now.
