Video: Plug Into Your Hard-Wired Happiness

This is a great video featuring Professor Srikumar Rao. He teaches us to be grateful and wants us to meditate, but he isn’t a spiritual teacher. He teaches at some of the world’s top business schools! In his gentle voice, Professor Rao ask us to stop living in a “me centered” world and start living in an “other centered” one.

Part of what he teaches is also incorporated in David Shenk’s book (see post) regarding the perception that high-achievers have vs. those of us who achieve less. Those who achieve greatness immerse themselves and find their value in the process, rather than the outcome of their endeavors. This, according to Professor Rao, is what leads us to a higher level of happiness.
