Details

At this event, Dr. Laurie Santos will present scientifically-validated strategies for living a more rewarding and happier life. She will introduce misconceptions we have about what makes for a satisfying life. She will reveal how our minds lie to us about what will make us happy, suggesting that some of the things we think matter most for our happiness simply don't. With probing questions posed by author and workplace expert Debbie Epstein Henry, Laurie will share some of the psychological biases and features of our mind that lead us astray. She will uncover how such biases make it hard for us to see what makes us happy and cause us to seek out the wrong sorts of things -- a phenomenon she refers to as miswanting. Laurie will leave us inspired, after imparting the psychology research that shows what we really should strive for to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
