Learning to be Unhappy and Learning to be Happy

http://www.ted.com/talks/srikumar_rao_plug_into_your_hard_wired_happiness.html

The link above will take you to a talk on happiness. It discusses the 'if/then model of happiness". The more we focus on the "if" the less happy we will be. The speaker asks us to remember times when we were happy and to realize that in those moments we accepted the universe exactly as it was.

Srikumar Rao was an executive at Warner Communications and McGraw-Hill before he created his celebrated MBA course, "Creativity and Personal Mastery." The course shows students how to discover their unique purpose, creativity and happiness, through group work and a philosophical perspective. Its popularity has led to write-ups in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Business Week.

Rao is also an adviser to senior business executives, whom he helps find deeper meaning and engagement in their work. He's the author of Are You Ready to Succeed: Unconventional Strategies for Achieving Personal Mastery in Business and Life, and has been a contributing editor for Forbes.

"[Creativity and Personal Mastery] is a forum for self-exploration, meant to help future business leaders define their personal ethics and goals."
