Why is psychology good? & Love


Martin Seligman, over the state of psychology uit 2004. Nu pas vrijgegeven en aangeboden door het onvolprezen TED (23.41 min.)
In diezelfde serie houdt de antropologe Helen Fisher een prachtig betoog over de liefde. De TED bio beschijft het als volgt:
"Helen Fisher's courageous investigations of romantic love -- its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its vital importance to human society -- are informing and transforming the way we understand ourselves. Fisher describes love as a universal human drive (stronger than the sex drive; stronger than thirst or hunger; stronger perhaps than the will to live), and her many areas of inquiry shed light on timeless human mysteries, like why we choose one partner over another" (15.56 min.)
