Words at Play : Words We Re-Learned at TED2015
When TED host Chris Anderson asked the Dalai Lama what is the purpose of life, his answer was "happiness." The Dalai Lama went on to differentiate between happiness associated with sensory and material pleasure, and what he called "mental level happiness" – what we define as "a state of well-being and contentment" that comes from appreciation and tranquility. Another frequent TED speaker, Dan Dennett, has put it another way: "The secret to happiness is working for an idea that is bigger than you are."
Do big things. Be creative. Help people. Be happy.
