This Emotional Life:
In Search of Ourselves . . . and Happiness
This spellbinding PBS series, which received outstanding reviews, is hosted by Harvard Psychologist, Dr. Daniel Gilbert, author of the National Bestseller "Stumbling on Happiness."
Each episode weaves the compelling personal stories of ordinary people and the latest scientific research, along with revealing comments from celebrities such as Chevy Chase, Larry David, Alanis Morissette, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Richard Gere.
Professor Gilbert, whose research examines why people so often mispredict what will make them happy, says, "Science has revealed three important facts about happiness: You can't be happy alone; you can't be happy all the time; you can be happier than you are. Our three shows examine each of these three facts."
From reviewers:
Episode 1: Happiness: Family, Friends & Lovers
The
first episode, Family,
Friends and Lovers, shows why and how relationships are vital to
our well-being. Clearly depicted are the cognitive and neurological
processes involved in our daily interactions. Conclusions suggest why
some relationships work very well and conversely why others do not.
Presenting this, by drawing conclusions showing real case scenarios in action, as well as inferences concluded from the master clinicians makes this espisode/series fascinating and unforgettable, in addition to this being a great teaching medium.
Episode 2: Happiness: Facing Our Fears
In Facing Our Fears, we examine anger, anxiety, fear and despair, emotions usually thought of as deterrents to happiness.
We witness several people who maintain debilitating fears, primarily because of an understandable unwillingness to face the fear. Ironically, however, by facing fears under the guidance of the therapists, we see remarkable transformations which ultimately lead to a breakthrough resumption of happiness. This includes a current scientifically proven treatment method for PTSD.
Upon this episode's ending, the viewer will undoubtedly feel as joyful as the courageous people in the film feel, who have reached new heights in conquering their fears, showing renewed joy of life.
________________________________
We also learn about the elements of happiness itself. How it is not necessarily a constant frame of mind, for example. It is clearly demonstrated why levels of happiness actually increase with age, regardless of the advanced age of the participants.
Techniques are shown to us, that can be useful in the attainment of well-being at any age, and across the full spectrum of life's difficulties, from seemingly minor disappointments to severe trauma.
The bottom line is that no matter who we are, we can lead happier lives. This film demonstrates the many paths we can take for fulfillment.
