Happyness and psycology

Hello everybody, I will talk you about a phycologist who study the happiness: Dan Gilbert. He made a presentation about a cientific study of this topic called “The surprising science of happiness”. The presentation start with a speech about the frontal lobe, and his function wich is to be a experience simulator. Then, he make a game with the spectators, consisting in show to them two pictures about the future, a good one and a bad one. This game demonstrates the tendency that this simulator have to malfunction. He concludes then that happyness can be synthesized. This is a psycological defense system. Then he shows examples about people that despite having bad luck is happy.
He says that there are two different kinds of happyness, in his own words: “Natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted, and synthetic happiness is what we make when we don’t get what we wanted. In our society, we have a strong belief that synthetic happiness is of an inferior kind.”  Then he explain an experiment calling free choise. He repites the experiment with people who had lose them memory, and the results are the same. This means that the free choise is the enemy of the synthetic happiness.  Besides, he made an experiment at Harvard university wich a photography class, demostrating his hypotesis.
After this he concludes that the elections are pretentious
and we have the capacity in our brains to be happy.

I think that despite being a scientific conclusion, i’m not agree, because happiness is not only a psychological process. In this sense, the individual is determined by situations that surpass him as a subject, so that happiness is personal and social at the same time. This is why we should all make us part of our society and actively participate in its evolution.
