On Happiness

Richard Layard – On Happiness

Happiness and Doing for Others.  In this Sermon from The  School of Life Lord Richard Layard lays it down by telling us amongst many things that neuroscience shows us that when we do good the same part of the brain is stimulated as when we eat chocolate.  He also touches on our individual mindsets and perspectives on the world when he quotes Victor Frankl:

“..Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
