2、t at the time it meant she hadto do everything that i wanted to do, and i wanted to play war. so we were up ontop of our bunk beds. and on one side of the bunk bed, i had put out all of myg.i. joe soldiers and weaponry. and on the other side were all my sisters mylittle ponies ready for a cavalry ch
3、arge. there are differing accounts of what actually happened that afternoon, but since my sister is not here with us today, let me tell you the true story -(laughter) - which is my sisters a little bit on the clumsy side. somehow,without any help or push from her older brother at all, suddenly amy d
4、isappearedoff of the top of the bunk bed and landed with this crash on the floor. now inervously peered over the side of the bed to see what had befallen my fallensister and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees on all fourson the ground. i was nervous because my parents had charg
5、ed me with making sure that my sister and i played as safely and as quietly as possible. and seeing as how ihad accidentally broken amys arm just one week before . (laughter) .heroically pushing her out of the way of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet,(laughter) for which i have yet to be thanked,
6、i was trying as hard as i could- she didnt even see it coming - i was trying as hard as i could to be on mybest behavior. and i saw my sisters face, this wail of pain and suffering and surprise threatening to erupt from her mouth and threatening to wake my parents from thelong winters nap for which
7、they had settled. so i did the only thing my littlefrantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this tragedy. and if youhave children, youve seen this hundreds of times before. i said, amy, amy,wait. dont cry. dont cry. did you see how you landed? no human lands on allfours like that. amy
8、, i think this means youre a unicorn. (laughter) now that was cheating, because there was nothing in the world my sister would want more than not to be amy the hurt five year-old little sister, but amythe special unicorn. of course, this was an option that was open to her brain atno point in the pas
9、t. and you could see how my poor, manipulated sister facedconflict, as her little brain attempted to devote resources to feeling the painand suffering and surprise she just e_perienced, or contemplating her new-foundidentity as a unicorn. and the latter won out. instead of crying, instead ofceasing
10、our play, instead of waking my parents, with all the negativeconsequences that would have ensued for me, instead a smile spread across herface and she scrambled right back up onto the bunk bed with all the grace of ababy unicorn . (laughter) . with one broken leg. what we stumbled across at this ten
11、der age of just five and seven - we had no idea at the time - was something that was going be at the vanguard of ascientific revolution occurring two decades later in the way that we look at thehuman brain. what we had stumbled across is something called positivepsychology, which is the reason that
12、im here today and the reason that i wakeup every morning. when i first started talking about this research outside of academia, out with companies and schools, the very first thing they said to never do is tostart your talk with a graph. the very first thing i want to do is start my talkwith a graph
13、. this graph looks boring, but this graph is the reason i gete_cited and wake up every morning. and this graph doesnt even mean anything;its fake data. what we found is - (laughter) if i got this data back studying you here in the room, i would be thrilled, because theres very clearly a trend thats
14、going on there, and that means thati can get published, which is all that really matters. the fact that theres oneweird red dot thats up above the curve, theres one weirdo in the room - iknow who you are, i saw you earlier - thats no problem. thats no problem, asmost of you know, because i can just
15、delete that dot. i can delete that dotbecause thats clearly a measurement error. and we know thats a measurementerror because its messing up my data. so one of the very first things we teach people in economics and statistics and business and psychology courses is how, in a statistically valid way, do weeliminate the weirdos. how do we eliminate the outliers so we can find the lineof best fit? which is fantastic if im trying to find out how many advil theaverage person should be taking - two. but if im interested in potential, ifim interested in your potent
