Why you need to grow up to be happier | Bruce Hood | TEDxUniversityofBristol
To be accepted, we need to change from self-centred, egocentric children into allocentric adults who are focused not just on ourselves, but on others as well. Developing into an individual who is independent but also interconnected with others. We should all make this transformation because the allocentric adult is not only healthier, but happier.
In this talk, Professor Bruce Hood will demonstrate how to go about this transformation. Professor Bruce Hood is an experimental psychologist and philosopher at our university specialising in developmental cognitive neuroscience. Bruce is a visiting professor at MIT and Harvard University and has contributed to substantial research on cognitive development in childhood. Bruce Hood has curated and delivers a course called The Science of Happiness, at several universities in association with Yale University and is now the basis for the BBC podcast The Happiness Half-Hour co-presented by Bruce.
Bruce is also a lifetime fellow of the Association Psychological Science and was President of the Psychology Section of the British Science Association and received the inaugural Distinguished Contribution to Developmental Psychology award from the British Psychological Society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Incredibly weird experience today: I wrote a short autobiography about all my goals and issues in my notes from a third person perspective this morning, because I thought it would be fun. This is the first time in my life I've wrote about myself in the third person.... Then this afternoon I hop on and this is the first video I watch. WTF... its almost like I manifested the action of writing in the third person from the future.

Shout out to Bruce! I took his Science of Happiness course a few years ago, it's been my favourite unit at uni so far

Wow! So educative and mind transforming. Thanks Bruce
thanks Bruce, i really needed to hear this. Thanks for existing.
Thank you so much for this video! I needed this.
That’s a seriously genius tactic!👏🏾😊 Im gonna practice that
Great, very useful video for teens, parents, for every person. Thanks a million! 😄👍🙏
He has a point...when life starts to stress me out...I look at the pale blue dot video by Carl Sagan....puts things back in perspective..
A different perspective than I was expecting. I like that. Taken together with a powerful factor in what stops emotional development (trauma during crucial formative years) this is useful info. I also found CBT to be a great tool for dismantling cognitive distortions and disproving limiting beliefs.
This is genius! And right on time. 🎉
Fantastic content. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much
Indeed, maturity can change your perspective on happiness.
His smile is so warming❣️❣️
Thank you
omg tyvm for this
I really enjoy that presentation. I want to know more psychological distance.
Omg I love this! I only recently came across Brian Cox and listening to his work has had this affect on me. Not only in the sense that my problems are smaller but how impossible life itself came to be, it is a beautiful chaotic mystery.
Interesting.. thank u
truth!!!!
How do they maintain a graph of start to end maintaining linearity of concept while describing it? Like when to not jump to end?
Wow..... That was Great 🔥🔥🔥
A civilised species would put Bruce Hood in charge of everything... He'd probably need some help, so I reckon Robert Sapolsky and Natalie Wynn would also be great on this benign dictatorship deal. Sadly, but naturally, the people who would actually improve the lot of our species are the least likely to promote themselves to the positions of greatest influence. That's being human for you... But, sincerely, thank you Bruce for the important work, you're a giant.

@jonstewart464 Would you offer a"name" or searchable video topic of Natalie Wynn? I'm unfamilier with her. Thanks 🙂
First sentence was a run upon repeating the conjunction 'but' at least twice.

what about the gifted that somehow got fearful of being successful? How is that feeling corrected?
I had a teacher in jr. high school tell me that some adults act like children and I realized this in the work world.
He looks like Robin williams ^^
Everyone needs to watch this lol

This video needs a de-esser. Those S'ses are soooooo strong. Otherwise great!
„Grow up!“
Unfortunately have not found this to be true and found 1st/3rd person perspective just as stressful with only noticeable difference on what it is I'm stress about.

He completely ignored the people who felt less stressed by thinking about problems in first-person instead of third-person. In my case, thinking first-person means I only have to feel bad for myself, thinking in third-person makes me feel bad for myself AND a hypothetical other person. 😒 (That's why I try to avoid hearing about other people's problems, it only makes me feel worse, adding to the total misery in the world, especially when there's nothing I can do about any of it.)
Or maybe we googled ourselves to make sure our information isn't out there & available to just anyone. Not everyone is egocentric.
Maybe they think everyone thinks like them because they are always in a classroom where everyone does think like them. The teacher taught them all at the same time.
I could not do it because i do not know their pronouns
Is there anybody here who is not egocentric?
i think for adults how to remember how to be child much more important. I think we have enough with the hyper motivated jordan peterson prickle gang
This talk is filled with negativity, and should be seen from a positive view if better said.
First
