Discussion Group: Happiness and How Products Can Facilitate It

Details

Welcome to another Action Design Discussion Group! In this meetup, we will holding an interactive discussion among group members on behavioral psychology and design topics.

This month, we'll be focusing on happiness. While a simple sounding topic at the surface, psychologists and social scientists have uncovered a wide variety of evidence showing what really makes us happy. Often, this evidence is counter intuitive to our instincts.

A product or startup working to find success in changing the behavior of its users is probably hoping that behavior improves their life and, in turn, their happiness. What can companies or products do to drive that positive emotion?

In this discussion, we will focus on some of the best research, literature and real world examples of happiness and share each others' experiences in leveraging such information in the real world. We will send out some materials to review before the meeting and provide an outline for the conversation, but the goal is to have a wide ranging discussion of your insights, thoughts and applications on the topic.

The conversation will begin at 7 PM sharp. There is no opening social time as in our traditional meetups, so please arrive on time.
