Description
The primary foci of Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky’s presentation are the cognitive and motivational processes that distinguish individuals who show exceptionally high and low levels of happiness. By exploring the levels and benefits of happiness, she addresses three critical questions: (1) What makes people happy?; (2) Is happiness a good thing?; and 3) How can we make people happier? Dr. Lyubomirsky gives a detailed explanation of her experimental studies that were used for her recent book, The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want, where she draws on her own research to offer readers a guide to increasing happiness in their lives for both the short term and the long term.
