PBS is airing a documentary this week entitled “This Emotional Life” hosted by Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness. “In the course of this series, we’re going to look at the human journey toward happiness. We’re going to do this by talking to scientists who study human nature from the level of the neuron to the level of the neighborhood.” Click here for the rest of the preview.
It’s a six-hour documentary that’s been in progress for over two years. It will run Monday-Wednesday (Jan 4-6th) at 9pm in most places in the United States and Canada. Check the time in your local area.
Monday: Families, Friends & Lovers
Tuesday: Facing Our Fears
Wednesday: Rethinking Happiness
The Wednesday segment, “Rethinking Happiness” segment features Ed Diener, Martin Seligman, Chris Peterson, and Sonja Lyubomirsky.
The producers asked Senia Maymin to demonstrate some positive psychology skills, so there is a two-minute clip of her coaching someone.
We think you will enjoy all three evenings.
