The Science of Happiness: Hacks to live your ultimate life

October 28, 2013 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

| Free

Everyone wants to be happier. But what everyone may not know is that our brains aren’t designed to do that. So we have to hack our natural instincts to access the most awesome life possible. Our brains have something called a negativity bias – which means we automatically focus on what’s wrong, bad, or threatening. Negativity bias is an inherited instinct that helped our caveman ancestors make it another day; thankfully there aren’t any lions, tigers, and bears prowling around – so it’s time to rewire ourselves to not just survive, but to thrive.

Positive psychology is the science of happiness, taking an empirical approach to asking, “What makes life worth living?” Stella Grizont, MAPP, positive psychology expert, will take you through an interactive workshop to help you immediately posivify your habits, thoughts, and experiences so you can live even brighter!

What you’ll learn:
-An introduction to the field of positive psychology
-An understanding of how your emotions work – and how you can shift your mood to be even more productive, creative, and lovable
-Strategies to improve the quality of your relationships so that they feel real and deep
-A whole new perspective on the science of loneliness
-The universal tipping point for your emotions
-Why you struggle and how to make meaning out of suffering
-Brain tricks to achieving your goals
-Why you’re wired to play and how it’s critical to your well-being
And more!

Join this interactive opportunity to learn, connect, and deepen your self awareness.
