Emily Esfahani Smith, in her TED Talk, primarily speaks about happiness, the ways to pursuing it, and how there is so much more beyond happiness. After pursuing psychology and understanding what makes one happy, she realized that the pursuit of happiness was creating more troubles than it did well. So, she eventually started to focus on what could be happiness and was there more to it. This is where she found that finding the meaning in life, and everyone could have their own, was what gave one the real sense of happiness. People who had a meaning in life and were aware of it were found to be more satisfied with life.
