Hello Kris, good to e-hear from you again. I haven’t checked this thread in a couple of months so have only just seen this.
I’m not totally sure what it is you’re suggesting we do (instead). You seem to be objecting to positive psych, but I never said it was all about positive psych, just that it was one of a number of tools that might allow us to increase happiness. My main point was that we’ve neglected internal happiness interventions and we should explore those alongside the external happiness interventions we’re already working on.
What sort of theory of suffering might you be referring to? Is that about the nature of suffering, or about what makes suffering bad, or something else?
I’d be happy for you to facebook/email me so we can chat through this if you think that’s interesting.
