Thanks for this video.

Is this comment an act of kindness? If so, why don’t I feel any happier?

  Probably because your comment was more an act of sarcasm … maybe?

We are pretty far gone as a society if we need professors doing studies to tell us it’s a good idea to be kind. OMG! This is what it’s come to!

  I agree, if you don’t know enough to be kind to others, or at least to treat other people the way you want to be treated, then you’ve not been taught the “Golden Rule.”

“Doing for others make yu feel good.” That’s why giving blowjobs are so much fun.

“Do unto others before they do it to… No wait, that’s wrong. AS you’d want done to yourself” Yeah, that’s it. :)

Anyone else find the news headlines amusing for a talk on happiness.

  Yes. I still have trouble believing this was a serious video and not some kind of spoof. The hand jesters seemed to express a struggle to find words.

    I think it is genuine, Bruce (though what it has to do with ‘Geeky Science’ is unclear) – it’s a shame but it is true that a lot of people nowadays,in our egotistic and materialistic society, need to be told (or reminded) that altruism is (at least for the majority) part of our fundamental nature – and that it’s good for us as well as for the recipients of our acts of kindness. [And by the way, I'm sure you meant to write 'gestures' where you put 'jesters'!]

      I guess common sense is really not so common anymore. Guess I had my own word finding difficulties.

    This is definitely not a spoof. The presenter is Thom Hartmann, who has a liberal talk show in America that is absolutely the most intelligent program on radio in the States. He is also the most kind and fair presenter in America. He regularly has articulate and reasonable right-wing guests on his program, and he gets his counter-arguments across very effectively without belittling or shouting down their arguments. You see more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Hartmann or http://www.thomhartmann.com It’s also interesting that he is on RT, which is the Russian English language television service seen on many cable systems here in America. I’ve found RT a good antidote for the entreched big-corporation dominated media here in America.

This backs up the reasoning that I have if why I want to be a counsellor, making others happy, makes me happy

This is so ridiculous. Animals are programmed to be altruistic to there own offspring obviously. But that’s pretty much it. If he had used ANY other example it just wouldn’t have worked.
