If you've ever achieved a big goal, was it everything you'd hoped? Probably not. Callum Wilson dreamt of representing England's national rugby team since he was a kid, but when it happened, it didn't change his life the way he'd hoped. Sidebar: This is NOT an episode about rugby. It's a powerful, tender conversation about how a tattooed, 113kg overachiever handled “arrival fallacy” – the concept that if we just achieve that big goal, THEN we'll be happy. You'll learn why diversifying your “goal portfolio” can create a positive shift, and how to handle the negative inner chatter when it insists you're not enough.  Links: Callum Wilson on LinkedIn. NYT article on Arrival Fallacy, with Dr Ben-Shahar  

In this episode of the Effective Challenge podcast, titled "Rethinking Success and Happiness: Escaping the Arrival Fallacy," I delve into the concept of the arrival fallacy coined by Harvard professor Tal Ben-Shahar. This fallacy revolves around believing that once we achieve a significant goal, we will find lasting happiness. Ben_Shahar's research started with obvering high-achieving students, however, this fallacy affects individuals across various fields, from actors to business professionals and athletes, who invest significant time in pursuit of something only to feel empty upon attainment. The discussion explores the Hedonic Adaptation Theory, which posits that few things substantially alter our default level of happiness. The theory suggests that we all have a relatively stable level of happiness, known as the hedonic set-point, persisting throughout our lives. Despite this, many feel like they are on a hedonic treadmill, continuously chasing after the next source of happiness. The podcast then offers practical strategies for managing the pursuit of happiness, emphasising the importance of adopting a balanced mindset and not postponing happiness based on future achievements. It encourages recognising the value of everyday activities, understanding the significance of consistent efforts in seemingly mundane tasks, and accepting both negative and positive emotions as natural parts of life. The podcast also advocates identifying and leveraging personal strengths, shifting focus towards controllable factors, and measuring success by living one's values day-to-day. Ultimately, the message is that by prioritising the basics and adopting a more nuanced approach to success, we increase our chances of achieving what we want while finding greater fulfilment along the way. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/effective-challenge/message

In a world with personalized laws, each person would be subject to different legal rules and their own personally-tailored laws. For example, if you're a good driver, you could be rewarded for that good behavior with less stringent laws. Through this idea, and the acceleration of AI, technology could be used to comprehend our data from various places to create laws individual to us. These are some of the ideas that Omri Ben-Shahar writes about in his book, Personalized Law: Different Rules for Different People.In this episode, we speak to Omri Ben-Shahar about the questions and concerns that personalized law presents, and how it could be used in the future. Ben-Shahar is professor of law at the University of Chicago, and Director of the Coase-Sandor Institute for Law and Economics. 

Can You Learn to Be Happy?YES . . . according to the teacher of Harvard University's most popular and life-changing course. One out of every five Harvard students has lined up to hear Tal Ben-Shahar's insightful and inspiring lectures on that ever-elusive state: HAPPINESS.HOW?Grounded in the revolutionary "positive psychology" movement, Ben-Shahar ingeniously combines scientific studies, scholarly research, self-help advice, and spiritual enlightenment. He weaves them together into a set of principles that you can apply to your daily life. Once you open your heart and mind to Happier 's thoughts, you will feel more fulfilled, more connected . . . and, yes, HAPPIER."Dr. Ben-Shahar, one of the most popular teachers in Harvard's recent history, has written a personal, informed, and highly enjoyable primer on how to become happier. It would be wise to take his advice."--Ellen J. Langer, author of "Mindfulness" and "On Becoming an Artist""This fine book shimmers with a rare brand of good sense that is imbedded in scientific knowledge about how to increase happiness. It is easy to see how this is the backbone of the most popular course at Harvard today."--Martin E. P. Seligman, author of "Authentic Happiness"

Ben-Shahar says that often people who experience the arrival fallacy start off unhappy, and reach for a goal that is supposed to cure their sadness. When they find that success doesn't fix their unhappiness, not only are they disappointed, but may end up feeling hopeless and depressed. Often, the arrival fallacy only makes unhappiness and mental states worse.RESOURCES: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-arrival-fallacy-6561079https://sketchyideas.co/arrival-fallacy/WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comBUY SOME MERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/make-your-damn-bed-podcast?ref_id=27657TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastThis show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

What is the arrival fallacy?The arrival fallacy is the false assumption that once you reach a goal, you will experience lasting happiness. Many people become less happy after attaining something they have been striving towards. They were happier during the journey and less at the destination.Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard-trained expert on positive psychology, created the term itself. Dr. Ben-Shahar says, “the arrival fallacy is the illusion of reaching a destination or goal and realizing that the achievement doesn't make you as happy as you thought it would.” He then adds, “while most people can predict what might may them happy, they usually misjudge the preconceived intensity and overall duration of said happiness.”It makes sense that when you're on a journey to some big audacious goal, from a big project launch to becoming a doctor to having a child to early retirement, you believe at the end of it, you'll reach an enduring level of happiness. Once people arrive at a goal and realize the happiness doesn't last, they set another bigger, better goal, constantly seeking something they believe will arrive at lasting happiness. And it doesn't. That's the fallacy.People experiencing the arrival fallacy might also mask their unhappiness that increases after their goal is achieved. This concept is often called “escalation of commitment” and is a human behavior pattern where someone facing negative consequences from a decision, action, or situation continues the behavior instead of altering their course. They are escalating their commitment to some path, even as they learn it might not be the path for them.  People mistakenly confuse happiness with reaching an achievement. Happiness is a lifelong journey. It's not one achievement. It's not one place you arrive at and then stay at. The insight here is that happiness is a journey, not a destination.  Is the arrival fallacy affecting your happiness?  Maybe. Probably. If you've reached a goal and you're not feeling continued happiness from it, then you're likely experiencing the arrival fallacy.You may feel incredibly happy after achieving a big goal, and that's awesome and hopefully the case. We don't mean to imply that working hard towards a goal can't create happiness. The arrival fallacy and what we want to help you avoid is the idea that achieving that big goal will create enduring happiness. It will create a short-term dopamine hit of happiness, and you need to design a life where you get those dopamine hits on an ongoing basis. Happiness is a lifelong journey, and we feel happiness through our relationships, community, and daily life efforts.Most of the ways you can fight the arrival fallacy involve changing your mindset. Of course, mindset is the solution to so many things in life, so we're not surprised by this!What can you do to combat the arrival fallacy and improve your happiness?Identify the core issue you believe is making you less happy or unfilled, and make sure the goal indeed corrects that.Do your research. Know what you're getting into. Talk to other people.Adjust your expectations. Based on the research you've done, adjust your expectations. Go in “eyes wide open,” and stop telling yourself you'll be so happy when xyz happens. It's not an arrival fallacy if you know what you're getting into and you're not expecting immediate and lasting happiness from a career path. On the contrary, setting your expectations too high creates more unhappiness and can lead to depression and other types of malaise. Set smaller, more practical goals. Enjoy the efforts and journey you're taking on the path of something versus expecting the final arrival on the path to be what creates happiness.Appreciate that happiness is your life journey, not the destination. Envision your future. Ask yourself what you'll do after you reach a goal that will continue to make you happy?Create new goals. Setting goals and then starting the journey to achieve them can make you happy. But let's bring that back full circle, as you need to understand the arrival fallacy so you can set your expectations on how you'll feel as you accomplish these new goals.  Things take time. Be patient.Handle hard better. This is a super short and inspiring talk from Duke's women's basketball coach Kara Lawson. She says life will “never get easier; what happens is you handle hard better. What happens if you become someone who handles hard stuff better, not someone waiting for the easy.” Understanding the arrival fallacy helps you to handle hard better.  Top 3 takeaways:Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Invest in that journey and design your life to optimize what truly makes you happy.Money, or early retirement, won't magically make you happy, but it can give you the freedom to design a life filled with more of the things that do make you happy.Show References:Article: Arrival Fallacy: How to be happierDuke Basketball Coach Kara Lawson Video: Handle Hard BetterBook: Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful LifeBook: The Pathless Path: Imagining a new story for work and lifeFriends on FIRE Episode #140 - Maggie's early retirement “bucket list” plans (part 4 of 5)Friends on FIRE Episode #158 - Control your lifestyle to find financial freedomFriends on FIRE Episode #144 - Inflation is out of control!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing VIVID: A new EA organization aspiring to scale effective self-improvement & reflection, published by GidiKadosh on October 19, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary We're excited to announce VIVID - a new organization aspiring to scale effective self-improvement & reflection. With an investment of $1.75M from the Future Fund regranting program, we're building an app that helps individuals find the most effective ways to remove internal obstacles. Over the course of the next two years, VIVID will focus mainly on EAs. Our new app is available here. The app is soon coming out of beta phase, so we're looking for feedback, positive and negative! You can send feedback easily by taking a screenshot anywhere on the app. Overview There is an inherent problem with self-change advice. On the one hand, it has to be generic because it must be applicable to a wide range of subjects and individuals. On the other hand, individuals can't really apply the generic advice as it is - they need to complete the last mile of customization in order to apply it.This is the point of failure of many good theories and best practices that are found in self-help books, academic articles, and even advice from therapists - they are often lost in adaptation. There are two possible solutions to this problem. The first is to make customization easier. The second is to assume that we don't need to create all of the possible customized self-change plans that could ever exist, but rather just find the most effective ones for common problems. For instance, find the five most effective plans for the specific context of impostor syndrome within the specific context of EA. How can we find them? And do so for thousands of other common use cases? This is why we started VIVID. The VIVID app helps individuals find the most effective ways to remove internal obstacles, by allowing extensive customization and self-testing, and by empowering wellbeing professionals to assist in this process.With VIVID, individuals continuously self-improve by working on multiple plans - each plan addressing a mindset that underlies an internal obstacle. One of VIVID's cofounders is Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar - a leading expert in positive psychology, who taught two of Harvard's most popular courses of all time. Ben-Shahar is the author of several worldwide best-selling books, and his upcoming book discusses the methodology of VIVID. Theory of change Our theory of change is divided into two main parts: Short-term: Assist promising individuals in overcoming internal obstacles. This means faster progress on the world's most pressing problems when used by high-impact individuals like EAs. VIVID is meant to grow better at this point over time - the main idea behind its design is that it learns over time which self-change methods are most effective for each category (e.g. self-esteem, guilt, friendship, etc.), and for which user profiles. Long-term: The a priori chances of projects such as this becoming widespread are low (but we're optimistic!). However, the upsides are stellar. We could: Broadly promote the value of self-reflection. We believe that this point is of high importance, particularly in terms of mitigating risks associated with value lock-in (this idea is explained in WWOTF, ch. 3, and we will share a more thorough write-up about this soon). Accelerate progress in the wellbeing field and align it with large-scale evidence. In other words, we may discover scalable methods to improve wellbeing and individual potential in dozens of common use cases, relevant both to high-income and low-income countries. There are very few interventions that aim to improve wellbeing at scale, which is generally important - but depending on your assumptions regarding the current baseline of wellbeing, it might be even more important. Fig...

Now, in Choose the Life You Want, he has a new, life-changing lesson to share: Drawing on the latest psychological research, Ben-Shahar shows how making the right choices―not the big, once-in-a-lifetime choices, but the countless small choices we make every day almost without noticing―has a direct, long-lasting impact on our happiness. Every single moment is an opportunity to make a conscious choice for a happy and fulfilled life. Choose the Life You Want covers 101 such choices, complete with real-life stories, to help you identify and act on opportunities large and small.

Have you ever attained something that you believed would make you happy, only to discover that it didn't? Author, psychologist, and happiness expert Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar wondered the same thing. Then he coined a term for it: the arrival fallacy.In this episode of storymark℠, Ben-Shahar deconstructs the prevailing wisdom around happiness, and shares with host Gil Galanos why he believes it's incomplete. Ben-Shahar contends that an integration between future-oriented goals and living in the present moment is what actually creates true contentment — a lesson he confronted personally when his promising athletic career was cut short.More about storymarkstorymark is brought to you by itrek studios. itrek is a non-profit that inspires tomorrow's leaders through peer-led, week-long treks in Israel to experience its innovation, diversity and complex reality firsthand.

THE THESIS: The enemy wants us depressed and demoralized, so does The Party. I refuse to comply. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Luke 12:48 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Philippians 4: 10-20 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. 14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. THE NEWS & COMMENT: People over 60 account for a third of greenhouse gas emissions [AUDIO] - BREAKING: After Biden said Putin "cannot remain in power," the White House walks back remarks.  "The President's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin's power in Russia or regime change." [AUDIO] - Just remember, we're currently in a soft war with a major nuclear power and these are the people in charge. Enjoy your day. - María Elvira Salazar, South Florida Congresswoman. GOP [AUDIO] -  "Billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson are zooming off in their spaceships to outer space. They're buying $500 million super yachts, and they're buying mansions with 25 bathrooms, while half of our people live paycheck to paycheck." University announces first-ever masters degree in ‘Happiness Studies,' will cost students $17,700 University President Bruce Murphy said in his March 18 announcement: “This online, 30-credit graduate degree is an interdisciplinary program designed for leaders who are committed to personal, interpersonal, organizational, and societal happiness. Grounded in science and research, this new degree will study happiness and resilience to prepare graduates to make an impact in a wide range of fields. “ Centenary, a private college in Hackettstown, New Jersey, with about 1,100 students, teamed up with the Happiness Studies Academy to create the happiness program. Murphy told Fox News a variety of professionals could benefit from the program, such as human resource employees creating trainings for staff or CEOs incorporating lessons into their organizations. “We were thrilled when Centenary University President Murphy and his colleagues were willing to take the leap, so to speak, and create and create an academic field out of the fields of happiness, which is sorely needed in our world,” Ben-Shahar, who co-founded the Happiness Studies Academy, told Fox News.

Big data has created a world of personalization. We have personalized medicine, personalized education, personalized advertising. Now, one University of Chicago Law School scholar is asking: Why not personalized law? In his new book, Personalized Law: Different Rules For Different People, Prof. Omri Ben-Shahar lays out the case for why our idea of equality under the law actually leads to unequal outcomes, and why we should use data and algorithms to tailor our laws to individual people. As he says: If one size fits all doesn't work for shoes, why should it work for speed limits?

Health, love, affection, community.  These aspects of our lives can be taken for granted, but how does it affect you when these essential needs aren't being met?  Coaches: Kim Moran-https://www.kimmorancoaching.com https://www.instagram.com/kimcalifornia/  Randy Poindexter-https://www.instagram.com/the.randy.lee/ Tara Jones -https://www.makiarising.com https://www.instagram.com/makiarising/Resources:Abraham Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs- https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.htmlHappier- Tal Ben-SaharAbout:Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD, has written eight books, including the New York Times bestseller Happier and his latest, Happier, No Matter What.

"Hepimiz toplumun bize dayattığı her bakımdan mükemmel olma beklentisine karşılık verebilmek için çırpınıp durur; daha genç görünmeye, daha fazla para kazanmaya, her zaman mutlu olmaya çalışırız. Oysa New York Times'ın en çok satanlar listesinde yer alan Daha Mutlu Yaşamak adlı kitabın yazarı Tal Ben-Shahar'a göre, "mükemmele" ulaşma arayışı, mutluluğu elde etme yolunda önümüze çıkan bir numaralı engel olabilir.Son yıllarda olumlu psikoloji alanında âdeta yeni bir çığır açan araştırmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar hakkında değerlendirmeler yapan Ben-Shahar, gerçekleşmesi olanaksız hedefler peşinde koşmayı öngören mükemmeli arama arzumuzu bir tarafa bırakarak gerçek anlamda mutluluğu elde etmemiz, manevi zenginlik ve tatmin duygusu içinde yaşayacak şekilde hayatımıza yeni bir yön verebilmemiz için bize bazı tavsiyelerde bulunuyor. Başarısızlık ve başarı kavramları hakkında tutarlı bir düşünce tarzı ortaya koyuyor. Bu kitabında düşünme alıştırmalarına ve derin düşünme çalışmalarına yer veren yazar, aslında hayattan ne istediğinizi yeniden keşfetmenizi sağlıyor. Mutlu olmak için mükemmel olmak gerekmediği görüşünü savunan Ben-Shahar, bunu ikna edici örnekler vererek destekliyor."

Abstract: How is sensory information routed through different types of neurons within a circuit, and do equivalent circuits in different individuals follow similar organizational principles? We examined this issue in the fruit fly olfactory system. Odor-evoked signals from sensory neurons (ORNs) triggered neural responses that were patterned over space and time in cholinergic ePNs and GABAergic iPNs within the antennal lobe. The dendritic-axonal (I/O) response mapping was complex and diverse, and axonal organization was region-specific (mushroom body vs. lateral horn). In the lateral horn, feed-forward excitatory and inhibitory axonal projections matched 'odor tuning' in a stereotyped, dorsal-lateral locus, but mismatched in most other locations. In the temporal dimension, ORN, ePN and iPN odor-evoked responses had similar encoding features, such as information refinement over time and divergent ON and OFF responses. Notably, analogous spatial and temporal coding principles were observed in all flies, and the latter emerged from idiosyncratic neural processing approaches. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD is a professor at Columbia University and has a book called Happier in which he explores the topic of gratitude and how exhibiting gratitude makes you more grateful. It's an upward spiral, he says. Following Dr. Ben-Shahar we meet Stephanie Anderton and Rob Stuardi, both of Mobile, who experienced significant illnesses and, as a result, have a true sense and depth of gratitude that only the challenges caused by their illnesses could have awakened. It's an uplifting show for the holiday season. Gratitude - Getcha Some.

ep-121-shortcuts-to-happiness-from-a-pioneer-of-positive-psychology ( http://radiomd.com/media/k2/items/cache/2eed13dd75c7456e6a1c5fa33fa42806_Generic.jpg ) Learn how to unplug, unwind, and find true happiness in your life.In today’s achievement-oriented society, it’s easy to find success and wealth but still be unhappy. We’re constantly working to achieve goals and make the people around us happy, and we’re foiled by what we see on social media. However, happiness is easy to find if you have the right tools. Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD, uses proven, evidence-based techniques to help people find happiness. He suggests unplugging from technology, forming real relationships -- whether romantic, professional or platonic -- and finding the overlap between what you’re good at and what makes you passionate. From there, we can give ourselves “permission to be human” and find peace. Join Dr. Taz as she and Dr. Ben-Shahar discuss how we can begin the journey to find happiness.

Exactly twenty-five years ago, in February 1994, the men of Yale and Harvard played each other in a famously close match. The score went to 4-4. The final match, between Jamie Dean and Tal Ben-Shahar, ended 18-17 in the fifth. OTG talks with Dean and Ben-Shahar about what happened that historic day and how it changed their lives.

A doctor in psychology and philosophy, Tal Ben-Shahar currently holds the record for the largest enrollment in an undergraduate course at Harvard University: over 1400 students per semester. His Positive Psychology course quickly earned professor Tal Ben-Shahar his “Happyness Professor” nickname among students. His theories, which draw on science to propose methods to live life with enthusiasm and happiness, have resonated far beyond his classrooms, and his books have become global bestsellers. Can one learn how to be happy? Ben-Shahar's answer is that “yes, we can change our levels of happiness,” but he doesn't stop just there and argues that we should teach children how to be happy at schools.

Tal Ben-Shahar, the professor of happiness, is famous for teaching the most popular course in the history of Harvard. It was called "Positive Psychology" and in it he teaches the secret to living a happy life. It's no wonder that at its peak, close to 1,000 students would pack into his lecture hall twice a week to hear his words of wisdom. He has since gone on to write several bestselling books including "Happier" and "The Pursuit of Perfection" and now travels the world giving seminars on leadership, happiness and gratitude. "Expressing gratitude on a regular basis – writing what you're grateful for before going to bed, can help us become not just happier and more optimistic, but also more generous, kinder toward others, and interestingly, physically healthier," Ben-Shahar told us. On today's episode, Tal reveals several ways that we can teach ourselves to be happy in our everyday life. Plus, find out why he quit playing squash to become a professor, and hear about the happiness project he's working on that's open to everyone, not just students at Harvard.

Tal Ben-Shahar is one of my favorite teachers. He taught one of the most popular classes in Harvard's history and this book captures the essence of his class on Positive Psychology—sharing the best of what we scientifically know about how to create happier, more fulfilled lives. We'll explore how important it is to have goals AND be in the moment (and the perils of *just* being in the moment) along with mucho más goodness.

It's time to quit being a perfectionist and start being an optimalist. And Tal Ben-Shahar, the former Harvard (Positive Psych) Professor shares why we should care, and how we can look to our ideals as guiding stars rather than distant shores. If you, like me, have perfectionist tendencies, you'll love the book and you'll love the Note as we explore some Big Ideas on how to embrace the constraints of life as we get our inner-optimalist on!

Access Justice laws give people equal opportunity to enjoy primary goods, ensuring that access to these goods is not allocated by markets and is not tilted in favor of wealth and privilege. But Access Justice often fails to meet its egalitarian aspirations, because access and its benefits are deployed disproportionately by elites, yet paid for directly by public budgets and indirectly by weaker groups. In this lecture, Professor Ben-Shahar explains why Access Justice law can unintentionally hurt weak groups in a variety of areas — access to courts, information, insurance, internet, and many more. Omri Ben-Shahar earned his PhD in Economics and SJD from Harvard in 1995 and his BA and LLB from the Hebrew University in 1990. Before coming to Chicago, he was the Kirkland & Ellis Professor of Law and Economics at the University of Michigan. Prior to that, he taught at Tel-Aviv University, was a member of Israel's Antitrust Court and clerked at the Supreme Court of Israel. He teaches contracts, sales, insurance Law, consumer law, e-commerce, food and drug law, law and economics, and game theory and the law. He writes in the fields of contract law and consumer protection. He is the co-author of More Than You Wanted to Know: The Failure of Mandated Disclosure (Princeton 2014). Ben-Shahar is the Kearny Director of the Coase-Sandor Institute for Law and Economics, and the Editor of the Journal of Legal Studies. He is also the Co-Reporter with Oren Bar-Gill for the Restatement Third of Consumer Contracts. This lecture was recorded on March 3, 2015, as part of the Chicago's Best Ideas lecture series.

Professor Omri Ben-Shahar spoke on the "Myths of Consumer Protection" at this year's annual Ronald H. Coase lecture for first year law students. Ben-Shahar discussed why he believes the modern consumer protection movement is largely misguided. Consumer advocates cite three things that consumers need: information about products, access to courts, and remedies for wrongs done to them. In the eyes of the consumer advocate, a consumer cannot compete with large corporations without these three things. It would be David versus Goliath; and Goliath would always win.

In this show, we explore some of the ideas found within Tal Ben-Shahar's doctoral thesis (Harvard, 2004). Ben-Shahar, internationally acclaimed author of "Happier" and master teacher, argues that there are two components of self-esteem: dependent self-esteem and independent self esteem. Students working with the Center for Professional at Personal Ethics at Central Michigan University discuss these concepts and their relevance to academic integrity.
