H14: "The Science of Happiness"
February 20, 2018 | 3:00-4:30 pm
Description: We all want to be happy, and there are countless ideas about what happiness is and how we can get some. But not many of those ideas are based on science. The ground-breaking science of positive psychology explores the roots of a happy and meaningful life. Discover how cutting-edge research can be applied to your own life while engaging with some of the most provocative and practical lessons from this science. Zero in on a fundamental finding from positive psychology: that happiness is inextricably linked to having strong social connections and contributing to something bigger than yourself - the greater good. Learn about the cross-disciplinary research supporting this view, spanning fields of psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and beyond.
Designed for: Anyone interested in learning more about the pursuit of happiness
