Perfect timing Sherri! Yesterday someone was asking me for some links to on-line videos on Positive Psychology, and I did not have time to surf around to gather them. You did it for me and selected several of the same ones I had in mind. I’ll just forward your article on! Thank you, thank you!

Hi, Sean–
Glad you liked this idea. I wanted to pay forward the gift of MAPP and hope many others will be able to enjoy and learn from our masters 🙂
Thanks so much Sherri. I began writing a book on happiness earlier this year and I’ve been combing through the voluminous literature on the topic. These four are definitely at the top of the list. Being able to hear them and see them is a treat.
Flora,
You may find some other interesting sources if you look through the image maps we started this summer. I know that there are several film clips referenced there — as well as books and articles by leading researchers — and articles about each topic from the 350 or so we’ve accumulated in PPND. The image maps have live links to articles about all the topics in the figure: https://positivepsychologynews.com/image-maps

Sherri,
Thank you, I wanted to put something similar together and just have not found the time. This is a wonderful gift, and I am sending it along (paying it forward) to many who are wondering what the heck I a doing traveling back and forth to Philadalphia.
