I watched a TED Talk on Netflix a few weeks ago that is somewhat relevant. It was in the series "
Head Games", titled "Ep 11. Martin Seligman on Positive Psychology" but it is from back in 2004. Dr Seligman used to be president of the American Psych. Ass'n.
It starts with a little anecdote (well, a joke) of his encounter with the media, and when asked how he would respond to "What is the state of psychology today?", with only one word sound-byte:
"Good!"
An insufficient response, he was then allowed two words, "What is the state of psychology today?"
"Not good!"
Again, not a satisfactory response, so he was finally allowed three words to answer the question "What is the state of psychology today?"
"Not good enough!"
