TED2019 | April 2019
Onderzoek wijst uit dat het helpen van anderen ons gelukkiger maakt.
Maar in haar baanbrekend onderzoek naar vrijgevigheid en vreugde ontdekte sociaal psycholoog Elizabeth Dunn
dat er een addertje onder het gras zit: het maakt verschil hoe we helpen.
Ontdek hoe we een grotere impact kunnen maken -- en ondertussen ons eigen geluk kunnen vergroten --
als we één belangrijke verandering maken in hoe we anderen helpen.
"Laten we stoppen met denken over geven als een morele verplichting en beginnen met erover te denken
als een bron van plezier", zegt Dunn.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
Elizabeth Dunn discovers ways that people can optimize their use of time, money and technology in order to maximize their own happiness.
Why you should listen
When Elizabeth Dunn got her first job, she wondered what to do with the money that was suddenly appearing in her bank account. So she teamed up with her friend Mike Norton (at Harvard) to figure out how people could use money to buy the most happiness. She and Norton wrote a book called Happy Money, which presents five research-based principles designed to help individuals and organizations use their money in happier ways. It was selected by the Washington Post as one of the "top 20 books every leader should read."
Recently, her work has focused on how people navigate trade-offs between time and money, and how mobile technology can both support and undermine human happiness. Dunn is an avid skier and surfer, and she survived a shark attack.
