Memory vs. Experience in Happiness

This was an interesting lecture about how we experience and remember situations in terms of happiness. I thought it was interesting because he talks about how we make decisions based on what we remember, not necessarily on how we experience situations in the moment. It reminds of the idea behind scripts or schemas we use to store information in our long term memories. This lecture makes me wonder if this has implications for CBT and other types of therapy, where clients are instructed to change their thoughts and beliefs for improvement.
