The How of Happiness:

Happiness not only feels good; it is good. Happy people have more stable marriages, superior health, and higher incomes. Fortunately, experiments have shown that people can intentionally increase their happiness. In this presentation, Sonja Lyubomirsky will describe both classic and brand new research revealing when and why such practices as expressing gratitude, doing acts of kindness, and engaging in more social interactions work “best” and how small and simple activities can transform us into happier and more flourishing individuals.

At the end of the session, participants will:

  • learn about the science of happiness
  • appreciate the nuances of how to boost connection, gratitude, and kindness
  • be able to develop strategies for improving personal and workplace well-being
