  1. One of the main reasons that our brain did so big is because it got a new part called the frontal lobe( or prefrontal cortex). Its function is that it should justify the entire of the human skull. Then he tells that the cortex does a lot of things. But one of the most important thing it does is an experience simulator. After that Dan Gilbert shows some examples of it. Happiness can be synthesized. He also shows examples and experiments of the natural and synthetic happiness. Also he has just explained a form of cognitive dissonance.
    As a conclusion, the most variety of things that make us happy are out of our control. Feeling of control isn't what makes us happy.
    A lot of people have their own opinions about it. For example, I am happy because I have a family and some faithful friends. And all of them are healthy and happy with me. Also I think that happiness is when a person has reached his goal in life. Because if you reach your own goal, you’ll be able to feel a lot of joyful emotions. And in such way you can prove yourself that you are a strong person who can be happy when you want.

  2. Dan Gilbert, in his lecture "surprising science of happiness" suggests that everyone can
    synthesize happiness. He argues that people have a psychological immune system which helps people to change their own vision of the world, helps us to see the world more bright. Dan Gilbert on the example of the experiment also shows that the spontaneous choice brings us more happiness.

    For every person happiness is different! For some it is money, the glory for others, and just wake up in the morning-that is happiness for someone. I think it is true that, for all the happiness is different, as each may have a point. What is happiness for me? I can not answer for this question because every day I'm happy in different ways. Sometimes I'm happy because the good weather on the street, and sometimes, even the most beautiful purchase doesn’t give me pleasure. But, perhaps, happiness is when I and all my family healthy. It is the greatest happiness for me. Because when a person is sick, he is unhappy. Very often people have tragic situations related to their health. And they understand that they need nothing to be happy, only to be healthy.Also, happiness is for me to achieve my goals. When you long for something to strive for, and finally achieved this, then you will be happy. Very often people need to lose something valuable to understand what happiness is. And in these situations, we start to appreciate the things or moments that seemed irrelevant to us. To my mind, happiness is the fact that we bring happiness to others. It does not matter how. Whether it's a clown who amuses children and my mother, who is happy that she has a child. We should try to give a good mood, positive emotions to all people around us. Show them your love, respect to treat them is so little to us, but so much for others. And then all the people on our planet will be happier :)

  3. People have adapted mentally scroll event scripts before trying to execute them in reality, this is truly a wonderful ability. Any happiness can be synthesized. Each person has something like a "psychological immune system." Ted Gilbert challenges the thesis that we are people unhappy when they do not get what we want. Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel happy, even when things do not go the way we planned.
    What is happiness for me? I think, each word happiness is associated with any event in life that brought joy, pleasant feelings, smiles and satisfaction for a few days. Happiness in any kind may arise from any of the things, actions or situations. For each person, happiness may be different, so different that you cannot even describe. For example, for some people, happiness is shopping, buying any material thing, for the mother of his fortune in the health of the child, for loving happiness lies in emotions and love for the loved one. For some, happiness is simply that it does not rain and the sun is shining. My happiness as each consists of simple things, because you can live and enjoy every moment and still receive that same happiness. I’m living, there are people who love me , my family and my friends, I am a student at the institute, now I live in Sevastopol I see the sea every day. What one can still dream, is this not happiness? I like good weather, clear sky, I love to go to the forest to pick mushrooms and autumn berries. I Love purring cats and gentle dogs, they give warmth and give the man his happiness affection. I look forward to spring, warm and sunny. Spring gets a dose of joy just from the weather, when you walk down the street and the smell of flowering trees. Happiness is when I received what had long desired. And sometimes, when I see the incredible sunset or a rainbow of colors in half the sky. Happiness is available at any age. It has to be big. If it comes to you one side, then the other connects you with what is joy. For example, the sun - this is happiness: it heats the billions of people, shows the world in its light. It is one at all. So the more people covered by this incredible feeling, the richer they will live their lives, sharing it with others. All people are different, and in every moment of life can find positives and delight yourself.
