By the way, money CAN buy happiness! Watch and read the transcript of this TED talk I found on www.ted.com about one of our topics of this last class. On this site you will find talks on many different subjects. However, what is even more interesting for you is the fact that you can see the transcript by clicking at the bottom of the image on Show transcript and selecting English.

Enjoy!
