Yeah, that guy is awesome! There are 2 vids of him on TED. I also read his book “Stumbling on happiness” which I can recommend!
Care to give URLs for his other videos?

I wish I had a spare life so I could watch all of the fascinating TED talks on the web, not to mention the videos Google puts up when they have famous authors speak.
