Happiness - Pptx Download

Some very interesting thoughts have been shared on happiness. Swapana has put happiness in perspective when she shares how the framework of happiness keeps changing depending on the changes one goes through in life. Bottom line is ' Happiness is an inside thing'.

Hello Sarma Duvvuri,

Thanks to your interaction Happiness has taken an excursion to classical theories in Physics and Human Behaviour.

It makes a pleasant reading to note that you are keying in texts for a New Book. I take this opportunity to wish you all the best in your venture.

Thank you for introducing Newton’s First Law and Maslow’s theory into this thread.

While the first law states the state of Happiness when undisturbed, the Newton’s Second Law buts in when someone chooses to disturb the calm state. Depending on the force of disturbance someone reconciles to normalcy quickly OR recoils with an equal force making it an example of the Newton’s Third Law. So all three theories are covered in our life when we see behaviour aspects also as a corollary borrowed from PHYSICS.

Maslow’s findings are almost a Century old now and still very relevant to us. Considering the modern day craving for things and the ever increasing wants, Maslow would have ushered in WANTS along with NEEDS in his TRIANGLE model. While a sensible individual gets satisfied with fulfilment of NEEDS those who go after the infinite WANTS, never enter the realm of Happiness.

Dear Raghunandan,
Namaste.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and also bringing in Newton's other laws and extension of Maslow's theory. In my view man has learnt to do what not to do. This is the core issue and problem. He is lost in this jungle of wants in search of happiness, which he is by nature. It is like searching for himself all around forgetting his composure.
Thanks again. Nice talking to you. Have a nice time.
Regards,
Sarma Duvvuri
