 Generosity is more fun!
This is a must-see 11 minutes. TED | TEDBlog: Bob Thurman on happiness and becoming Buddha -- on TED.com
There's no special effects, but he's a great speaker and what he has to say... well, it's only 11 minutes. You'll survive the loss.  The transcript is available there for quoting.
