  1. Human interactions and relationships are essential to well-being.
  2. Negative emotions serve positive survival needs, yet they can get out of control; our younger "rational brain" continually struggles with our primordial "emotional brain," producing much of the pain, joy and interest in life.
  3. Recent research suggests "we often incorrectly predict what will bring us greater happiness"; "meditation, compassion, forgiveness and altruism" tend to foster positive emotions.
Thanks Rohag and good for you - I see you looked at the website - you're ahead of me. PBS usually has wonderfully inspiring shows on this time of year - since it's pledge time LOL. I'm looking forward to it and I'm always willing to learn something new.
