How to be happy: Perspective is Everything by Rory Sutherland

How to be happy? A very difficult question to answer. It’s all a matter of perspective according to Rory Sutherland. In his entertaining TED talk ‘Perspective is Everything’, he explains it in terms of “framing” – the idea that it’s not so much reality that gets us down but our reaction to it. So essentially happiness will result from finding the brighter side in every situation, in every aspect of our lives. Give it a try and let us know if you can turn misery into happiness.
