52:34Now PlayingWhat Happiness is NOT and IS (with Andrei Tanase, Filmmaker)
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTo understand happiness, we need to study its absence.
Three components:
1. Having managed your life well, having self-actualized self-efficaciously (Maslow);
2. Having contributed to a collective (community) whose member you are;
3. Having conducted yourself with dignity and integrity, having respected and loved yourself.
Happiness is not gratification: it is a state of being, not a state of mind, it is internal, not external. So, self-sufficiency, not grandiosity, and not hedonism=not narcissism.
Happiness is individual, lack of happiness is universal.
So, I devised a map of happiness:
1. What could you not be happy without?
2. How does absence of happiness feel?
