I think this is overall a pretty good video, however I'm hesitant on taking Ben-Shahar's advice on simplifying our lives with more than a grain of salt. Of course in some cases less is more, but I myself am a procrastinator, and I can only justify this by getting a lot done when I should be doing the procrastinated task. Also, getting a lot done is rewarding for me and I get a lot of meaning out of this. I don't think it would be very prudent of me to shun this.
