Guila Clara Kessous welcomes Tal Ben-Shahar, one of the most popular professors at Harvard, lecturer, doctor of psychology and philosophy. Is it not indecent to talk about happiness in a world full of drama? How can we approach the theme of happiness in a serious, objective and scientific way ? This is the whole meaning of Tal Ben-Shahar's quest to give us a lesson in happiness to understand what makes us happy. Without falling into naive positivism which would involve a denial of the difficulties of reality, the greatest teacher of happiness in the world comes to bring us essential lessons. Episode #452


In this episode with Tal Ben-Shahar, we will discuss the following topics (except from certain questions) :


  • How can we truly feel complete when a part of humanity is suffering?
  • What is the SPIRE tool on which you base your approach? Can you give us a significant anecdote of using this approach?
  • What do you think about art to be happier?
  • Is Happiness multidimensional (spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational and emotional) ?
  • How do you communicate with people who do not seem to want to get better?

Some quotes from the podcast with Tal Ben-Shahar :


“When I increase my level of happiness, I contribute to a happier world. It is therefore important that I work on my happiness so that others increase theirs.”

“The art and science of deep learning are important components of happiness.”

“Exhibiting generosity and kindness is a win-win activity.”

“The main thing is to start with action. After action comes motivation, a feeling of well-being or even happiness.”
