Here is the first 45 minutes of a full day of scientific research in positive psychology. The Positive Psychology Symposium 2009 in Claremont California. The conference deserved 2 days to fully appreciate and digest all the information presented. Definitely an experience though!
(includs an overview of the history of Positive Psychology by Dr. Martin Seligman, the announcement of the Clifton Strengths Prize being awarded to Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and a portion of the talk by Dr. Edward Diener)
