Happiness and Living with Purpose: Keys to a Joy-Filled Life

The talk behind his TEDx appearance and his book The Two Most Important Days.

Why are some people deeply content while others, with every apparent advantage, are not? Dr. Chopra distinguishes happiness from fleeting pleasure and material success, and points to the habits that research and experience both support: gratitude, friendship, forgiveness, and service to others.

At its center is an idea he returns to often, that the two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you discover why. He recently delivered a version of this talk as Medical Grand Rounds during a visiting professorship at Stanford, where it drew connections across divisions.

Excellent. Superb. Bring him back next year.
