Video: The Duality of Happiness

Behavioral economist and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman gives a TED-talk on the difference in perception of happiness between the experiencing self (the temporal aspect) and the remembering self (the reflective aspect).

Lets hope some of Kahneman’s research finds its ways into our governments policies. It could fill part of the huge gap a perverse fixation of economic growth has given our current society. I believe well-being and happiness should be considered seriously in any modern civil society.

    I keep pondering that hypothetical situation; what vacation would I take, knowing i wouldn’t remember it afterwards.
