NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk as a substitute for mental health advice and seek professional help if you are struggling. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of lifestyle and mental health, which may be alienating to some viewers. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers.

Can we be happy every day? Some people claim that this is unrealistic. What if I told you that there is a happiness control panel that you can use to access your happiness on demand? Happiness is possible and within your control. This is based on positive psychology and supported by the work of Shawn Achor, Martin Seligman, Sonya Lyubomirsky, and Liz Dunn to cite a few. It is derived from clinical data, from over 14,000 people. This tool, which is like the motherboard on a computer, provides simple, time efficient ways to boost your happiness especially when facing setbacks. The boost of dopamine elevates your mood instantly!
If 50 percent of our happiness is due to DNA, and only 10 percent is due to life events, then the Happiness Control Panel gives you the 40 percent solution!
