Be Happy! The Science of Happiness and How to Be Happier

Thursday, January 7, 2021 - 7:00pm

This program was not recorded. The presenter's slides are available here, along with a handout. These are intended for personal use only, not for sharing.

Do you ever find yourself wishing you could feel happier? Many of us do and we think we will feel happier as a result of something – such as finding a new job, finishing a project, losing 10 pounds, etc. However, psychologists and neurologists are now realizing that happiness can be more readily achieved through changing the way we think. In this Zoom Webinar, Lizzie Linn Casanave, professor of philosophy, will explain this revolutionary concept and provide you with practical tools for achieving this new mindset.
