I am glad to see that Positive Psychology is getting the public recognition it deserves. It is about time scientists look at the factors that contribute to happiness, success, and well-being.

Quite right, his site is 100% academic. Dull and dry; unless you are an academic, in which case it's golden and sparkly. Of course I can. Basically, certain areas like those concerned with attention were larger/had more activity in the monks, presumably due to the massive amounts of meditation they do. But I'll write up a run down of the findings something this week. Warren Mohinder!
