You do not pursue happiness.
You do not seek for happiness.
You CREATE happiness.
I didn’t watch the video, just skipped it because of the title. Ciao Ciao

The meaning of life is life with meaning. Without that you will experience despair in older ages. I suggest you read Viktor Frankl.

Hard to watch when the first thing out is to broaden your goals. What about SMART goals? Evidence-based. You don’t need to be broader to achieve relevance.

Like so many Ted Talks this is more superficial ;ack of insight nonsense. We need to choose to be happy, have lives with meaning, and peruse those goals. The most important aspect is a life with meaning. Read Viktor Frankl to get a better understanding. Our lives must stand fir more than survival. We benefit humanity, create art, act in ways that help others. We are social beings and have an inherent need to benefit mankind in some way
On Success/Happiness: “Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.”
On Suffering: “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.” Frankl

Happy: hope from hopping. There is a wonderful book me and my friends would read for fun growing up – it’s called a dictionary and it’s filled with even more words.

Have children and or help humanity progress in a positive shape or form in whichever topic you wish.
You can be a scientist. You can be a humanitarian volunteer or you can just be a parent.
Didn’t take me to half an hour Ted video to explain that😅
