In this TED talk Ron Gutman talks about the hidden power of the smile. From using a persons smile to gauge how successful they'll be to discovering that a smile can make us happier than thousands of dollars, there's a lot to be said for the humble smile.
Now we know why the Friday Funnies are so popular!
Did you know that a single smile can make you happier than a few bars of chocolate or a wad of cash? Did you know that a smile makes you appear not only more pleasant, but more competent? Did you know babies smile in the womb?
In this fascinating and fun exploration of the smile, Ron Gutman teaches us that there is far more to a simple smile that we might ever have imagined. Like a super power, it can give us incredible insight and the ability to make ourselves and other people happy.
Our smile can help us to know whether a person is lying or telling the truth. It can help us to reduce stress and improve our relationships. It can even lengthen our life.
So why not have a smile as you watch the fun presentation below.
