It can be difficult to figure out where to start or what needs to change when we seek to increase the happiness in our lives. There are lots of people with ideas & plans, but what does science have to say?The UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center has drawn on its popular The Science of Happiness course & podcast to produce a book called The Science of Happiness Workbook. It includes short, step-by-step practices people can incorporate into their lives-many that can take only 5 or 10 minutes to do. It's about cultivating the skills & traits that research demonstrates could help people feel happier & more connected to others, from self-compassion to awe to empathy to purpose. It also includes quizzes, tips for overcoming obstacles, & inspiring stories.Join us at Commonwealth World Affairs to hear from Workbook authors Kira M. Newman, Jill Suttie & Shuka Kalantari about cultivating greater well-being & stronger relationships.About the Speakers
