Greetings colleagues . . . Michael Frisch at Baylor University welcomed my posting this notice from him about the availability of new interviews with Ed Diener and also with Alex Michalos regarding their studies of happiness. The Diener interview begins with a 6 minute clip in which he crisply answers questions about what predicts happiness (suitable for an intro to psych class). . . and is then followed by a longer interview suitable for a positive psychology class. Both Diener and Michalos are revealed as admirable role models as scholars and human beings.
