    The video discusses the concept of a good life, focusing on happiness, life satisfaction, and well-being, which are often difficult to define and measure. It introduces positive psychology, particularly the work of Martin Seligman, who developed the PERMA model to systematically enhance happiness and well-being. Seligman emphasizes that happiness alone is not sufficient for life satisfaction, as one can feel happy in certain moments yet still be dissatisfied with their overall life situation. The PERMA acronym stands for Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment, each contributing to overall well-being. Positive emotions are essential but not enough; engagement in meaningful work enhances satisfaction. Strong relationships and authentic connections are crucial for well-being. Meaning can come from various sources, including work, family, or personal passions. Lastly, a sense of accomplishment is vital, as achieving goals and making a difference contributes to life satisfaction. The speaker reflects on the importance of these five components in their own life and invites viewers to share their thoughts on Seligman's model.

    what do you think makes a good life well
  • 00:00:02
    most of us are looking for things like
  • 00:00:04
    happiness life satisfaction general
  • 00:00:07
    well-being right but all these terms
  • 00:00:10
    seem rather general kind of hard to
  • 00:00:12
    define and even harder to measure well
  • 00:00:15
    lucky for us there is an entire part of
  • 00:00:17
    psychology called positive psychology
  • 00:00:20
    that deals only with these kind of
  • 00:00:23
    questions and the most prominent name
  • 00:00:25
    and kind of founding father of positive
  • 00:00:28
    psychology is a guy called Martin
  • 00:00:31
    Seligman Martin Seligman came up with
  • 00:00:34
    his own personal philosophy of how we
  • 00:00:36
    can systematically increase happiness
  • 00:00:39
    and well-being in our lives he calls
  • 00:00:41
    this perma and this is exactly what I
  • 00:00:44
    want to share with you guys in this
  • 00:00:46
    video check it out so Martin Seligman
  • 00:00:49
    has spent basically 40 years of his
  • 00:00:52
    academic career researching happiness
  • 00:00:55
    well-being and general life satisfaction
  • 00:00:57
    at first he was under the impression
  • 00:01:00
    that happiness should be made the main
  • 00:01:03
    goal of our lives after all the happier
  • 00:01:06
    you feel the more satisfied you are as
  • 00:01:08
    well right well it turned out that this
  • 00:01:12
    is actually not entirely true you can be
  • 00:01:14
    over the moon happy because your
  • 00:01:16
    favorite football team just won the
  • 00:01:18
    national championship but at the same
  • 00:01:20
    time you can still be pretty
  • 00:01:22
    dissatisfied with your general life
  • 00:01:25
    situation and well-being so Martin
  • 00:01:28
    Seligman went back to the drawing board
  • 00:01:30
    and came up with a formula for actual
  • 00:01:33
    life being and this is what he calls
  • 00:01:36
    perma perma is an acronym and it stands
  • 00:01:39
    for positive emotions engagement
  • 00:01:43
    relationships meaning and accomplishment
  • 00:01:47
    so let's have a bit of a closer look at
  • 00:01:50
    each of them
  • 00:01:51
    first off positive emotions and that is
  • 00:01:54
    actually the category that happiness
  • 00:01:56
    falls into if we win the national
  • 00:01:58
    championship in football if we go out
  • 00:02:01
    for a nice movie night if we have a
  • 00:02:04
    really good dinner all of that creates
  • 00:02:06
    positive emotions within us and of
  • 00:02:09
    course that is a crucial part of
  • 00:02:10
    well-being
  • 00:02:12
    it is however not
  • 00:02:13
    enough next up we have engagement and
  • 00:02:16
    that is very closely related to your job
  • 00:02:19
    situation if you have a job where you
  • 00:02:21
    don't really feel like it even matters
  • 00:02:23
    what you're doing if you have a job that
  • 00:02:25
    is very routine based and you don't get
  • 00:02:27
    to challenge yourself and learn a lot of
  • 00:02:30
    new things then you're probably not very
  • 00:02:32
    engaged in your job and that will then
  • 00:02:35
    diminish your life satisfaction if
  • 00:02:38
    however you are very engaged you love
  • 00:02:41
    what you're doing you're super
  • 00:02:43
    passionate about it you're constantly
  • 00:02:45
    learning new things you are expanding
  • 00:02:47
    your comfort zone and your horizon then
  • 00:02:50
    that increases your well-being and your
  • 00:02:53
    life satisfaction in turn point number
  • 00:02:55
    three is relationships this is something
  • 00:02:58
    we can all relate to we all need to have
  • 00:03:01
    good friends we have to get along with
  • 00:03:03
    our family we need a knife partner in
  • 00:03:05
    our life that we can share our lives
  • 00:03:07
    with in order to increase our well-being
  • 00:03:10
    if all of that is missing it is very
  • 00:03:13
    difficult to actually feel satisfied
  • 00:03:15
    with your life an important thing to
  • 00:03:17
    point out here though is that it's not
  • 00:03:19
    only about having relationships but to
  • 00:03:22
    actually make authentic connections with
  • 00:03:25
    people so that means if you really have
  • 00:03:27
    deep relationships if you have deep
  • 00:03:29
    connections with people that will in
  • 00:03:32
    turn increase your well-being a lot more
  • 00:03:34
    than just people that you very vaguely
  • 00:03:37
    know or that you randomly bump into but
  • 00:03:39
    that you don't feel do you have this
  • 00:03:41
    closer connection with point number four
  • 00:03:43
    in the permit system is meaning and
  • 00:03:46
    meaning can be anything that makes your
  • 00:03:49
    life worth living of course a lot of
  • 00:03:51
    people get their meaning from their job
  • 00:03:54
    or their profession but it doesn't
  • 00:03:56
    necessarily have to come from there it
  • 00:03:58
    could also be your family
  • 00:04:00
    it could be certain hobbies that you're
  • 00:04:02
    into it could be something that you feel
  • 00:04:04
    is worth fighting for and that gives you
  • 00:04:07
    a purpose in life
  • 00:04:08
    and then last but not least we don't
  • 00:04:10
    only have to have a purpose we do
  • 00:04:13
    actually also have to accomplish certain
  • 00:04:16
    things it is important that we get the
  • 00:04:19
    feeling of yes we can actually make a
  • 00:04:22
    difference
  • 00:04:22
    we don't only engage in certain things
  • 00:04:25
    we don't only have
  • 00:04:26
    meaning or a purpose in our life but we
  • 00:04:29
    can actually produce results and make a
  • 00:04:31
    difference so the sense of
  • 00:04:33
    accomplishment the sense of checking of
  • 00:04:36
    different things from you to do list
  • 00:04:38
    moving on on your path from one
  • 00:04:40
    milestone to the next it's also a very
  • 00:04:43
    crucial factor of increasing your
  • 00:04:46
    well-being so there you have it
  • 00:04:48
    according to a positive psychology and
  • 00:04:50
    their father Martin Seligman those are
  • 00:04:53

  • 00:04:55
    life to feel completely satisfied and to

    increase your well-being over time
  • 00:05:00
    positive emotion engagement

    accomplishments are necessary to
  • 00:05:09
    flourish personally I can really relate
  • 00:05:12
