A Very Happy New Year to you all.

2009 has not been the best of years it has to be said.  I personally have found it extremely hard work.  People adapting to social and economic changes  it seems have also found 2009 a difficult year.

Let us all hope that 2010 turns out to be a better year for many and that we are all able to look forward and be hopeful about the future.

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year.

Positive emotions are good enough

Another talk from the ideas generators at www.ted.com part of the creative commons network have produced this talk on positive psychology. I've always been interested in why we are happy why or should we be optomistic? what is the good life all about? what does it mean to have a meaningful life and what is the point in it all? Martin Seligman provides an insight into all of these questions. Many of which most people I'm sure ask themselves at some time or another.  The outcome to this talk makes me think of why I have worked since I was sixteen and at times had three jobs? Why do I do things for other people I dont really want to do. I hope at the very least this talk will help you to find out for yourself what truly makes you happy.
