Happiness – Another View

At BTB we are huge fans of TED – ‘Ideas worth spreading’ it allows all of us to learn online from some of the most creative thinkers alive today. TED provides a platform for us to be challenged, to learn, to agree and disagree and, as a result, grow. In 2011 we have been tested almost daily on everything we know and believe in. Through it all we believe that optimism should and must play a foundational role in everything we do and how we do it.
