Can Money Buy Happiness?

This presentation deals with the questionable correlation between wealth and happiness on both national & personal levels. How can we explain that even though the standard of living in developed countries has tripled over the past 50 years, the national level of happiness has not changed at all? Altogether, how can happiness be measured? What role do genetics play? Which factors assist in eroding our happiness? Finally, the ten rules for maintaining happiness on a personal level (money, by the way, is not one of them).

Does Trust Pay?

This presentation touches on the latest scientific research dealing with trust – supposedly a pillar of our society. How can we explain the fact that despite Trust playing a crucial part in the business world, popular folklore reflects suspicion and lack of trust? Do we place trust out of altruism or do we expect to be rewarded by those we place trust in? The role of evolution and socio-demographics in our “trust” behavior. And altogether, does trust pay on national and personal levels? The answer to these questions and others will be interactively demonstrated through “trust games” during the presentation.

The convoluted relations between entrepreneurs and their fathers. And finally, 8 key traits common to most successful entrepreneurs and how to identify them in job interviews.
