Name: South Metropolitan Business Association Monthly Luncheon, presenting "What Is Happiness? What Is It Not?"
Date: March 15, 2018
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM CDT
Event Description:

Please join us on Thursday, March 15, for a presentation by Pelin Kesebir, Ph.D., Center for Healthy Minds, UW-Madison, speaking with us on "What Is Happiness? What Is It Not?".

Happiness is the fundamental desire and ultimate aim of every human being. Yet despite the fervency with which we want happiness, many of us are still not as happy as we would like. Why not? One possible reason is that we do not have an accurate understanding of the nature of happiness and are looking for it in the wrong places. Combining recent insights from the science of happiness with ancient wisdom, this talk will lay out the fundamentals of enduring happiness: what it is, what it isn't...and how each of us can take simple steps to cultivate this most important life skill.

Pelin Kesebir, Ph.D., has a degree in Social Psychology and Personality and works as an assistant scientist at the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. She studies happiness and virtues, and the different ways in which we can cultivate our well-being skills.

Registration deadline is noon on Tuesday, March 13, and you can register on our website at www.smba-madison.org.
