Plug Into Your Hard-Wired Happiness (a talk by Srikumar Rao)

Srikumar Rao says we spend most of our lives learning to be unhappy, even as we strive for happiness. At Arbejdsglaede Live! 2009, he teaches us how to break free of the "I'd be happy if ..." mental model, and embrace our hard-wired happiness.

"If love is for a reason then it isn't love, but desire. If happiness is for a reason then it isn't happiness, but pleasure. Both love and happiness are intrinsically unconditional."
Happy Cow

"Waiting for a reason to love and be happy is a bit like a dolphin waiting for a reason to swim and eat fish." Swifty Flame-Anderson
