TED Talk Discussion of Daniel Kahneman's "The Riddle of Experience vs. Memory" (Senior College in the Community)

Using examples from vacations to colonoscopies, Nobel laureate and found of behavior economics, Daniel Kahneman, reveals how our "experiencing selves" and our "remembering selves" perceive happiness differently.  This new insight has profound implications for economics, public policy -- and our own self-awareness.  We will view and discuss this talk.
