This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this transformative talk, NYU professors Daniel Lerner and Alan Schlechter guide us through the meaning of happiness and show us that our lives are in our own hands. We alone have the power to change everything.

Daniel Lerner is currently an adjunct professor at New York University, teaching "The Science of Happiness," and an assistant instructor at the University of Pennsylvania's graduate program in Applied Positive Psychology. His focus on the integration of performance and positive psychologies -- the healthy development of excellence and realization of individual potential -- has him very much in demand as a speaker and coach with both Fortune 500 and emerging companies, an array of institutions of higher education, and individuals ranging from world-class entertainers to all-American athletes, CEOs to younger professionals. Lerner helps clients articulate razor-sharp goals, break through barriers, and ascend to a peak that balances a fulfilling life with optimal achievement.

Alan Schlechter, MD is the Director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic at Bellevue Hospital Center. He also began teaching the NYU undergraduate course, "The Science of Happiness," in the Spring of 2009. In his role as Director he treats and helps organize the care of some of the most vulnerable children and families in New York City. In his role as Professor he teaches 325 students the mental health education that he believes all people should receive early in life. In both of his roles, Alan pursues the study of change. The aims of the course are to survey how people overcome mental illness and how healthy people develop their strengths. He utilizes the resources of both traditional psychology and the field of positive psychology to care for his patients at Bellevue. Using the best science that we have, he works to foster behaviors and thoughts that might help prevent mental illness.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.
