The TED story

I listened to the Dan Gilbert talk on happiness, and it changed my life. It introduced me to TED, for one thing, but also just made me realize that acceptable happiness can be synthesized, so no matter what happens just try to be happy, and you will. TED has fascinated me, introducing me to incredible new technologies and ideas about the world and myself. It needs to go mainstream.
