Personally, happiness is a term I rarely use to describe myself or my life. Nearing nine decades of life, I prefer contentment as more descriptive of one's wellbeing. Happiness is short term, whereas contentment results from acceptance all the experiences one has accumulated in life. The best, worst and the indifferent stages. When I accept it all, the battles won along with the battles lost, thats contentment.

Probably the greatest psychologist of our time

"If we wanted to maximise our experience, we wouldn't know how to do it, because all we get to keep from our experiences is our memories. So maximising experiences is an art - maybe it's learnable, maybe it's teachable, but it's very different from life satisfaction and what brings life satisfaction."

Thank you. Excellent interview.

The gent opened my eyes on human economical behavior. RIP

Thankyou for your work Sir

Sports is one way of maximising our experience long-term

Calling Daniel Kahneman "Danny" in a formal setting, should be illegal

Who is the guy next to Daniel?

So- very tired of behavioral economics so immersed in my life. Every email. Every lecture. Every advertisement. It’s so tiring to be constantly pressured or influenced the minute you walk out the door. Nothing is free will and nothing is your decision because it has been so heavily influenced that it’s not your choice.

I am not an academic, I found this area and Daniel as I was a betrayed whistleblower and i was trying to understand the totally mad behaviour i saw all around me. my experiences have lead me to really change much of my whole value system. I feel so lucky to have found Daniel and his book "Thinking Fast and Slow", along with Noah Youval Harari's "Sapiens" gave me a framework to build myself new but solid foundations. I can tell the warmth in the room to having Daniel, there. I feel it too. I hope one day soon I can have the opportunity to meet him and thank him. Along the way I have extended the ideas of Noah's book, within Daniels framework and I have by complete accident made a bit of a break through in the world of "Fulfilment" . The trouble is there doesn't seem to be a mechansm for a regular person to share this, and although i have learned so much I carry negative social markers though my journey as whistleblowers often do. This leads me to think our culture has a blindspot in this area, and harsh lessons learned are not shared. I now realise there is nothing like a real life crisis to make the mind hungry for answers, infact I wonder how much we do learn when in relative comfort. If anyone in the community can point me to someone, please let me know. To unselfishly offer to help strangers without any expectations in return, is one of the best things we can do to feel "happy", "win/win deals or those where we say ""what's in it for me" are the surprising enemy of fulfilment
