Happiness 101 is now in it's 16th year! I am especially excited about this year's class as I will be freshly back from the International Positive Psychology Association's three day conference in Brisbane, Australia. As with these conferences in the past I imagine my brain will return packed eager to share with you the latest research and techniques in positive psychology. Here's what to expect:

Happiness 101 is an uplifting eight week class where you will learn HOW to be happy, meet like-minded people and learn to break unhappy habits. Most people believe the myths of Happiness and therefore spend a great deal of energy chasing it, only to end up frustrated and disappointed. Scientific research has now revealed the things that actually bring us Happiness. Even better: you can start being Happier NOW. Topics covered:

• How to Turn PTSD into Post Traumatic GROWTH
• The Myths of Happiness
• The Happiness Setpoint
• Why You Are Not Happy
• What Happiness Is (and is not)
• How and Why You Sabotage Your Happiness
• Thinking Errors
• Happiness Habits
• The Paradox of Choice
• The Hows of Happiness
• Also: how exercise, sleep, social connection, money, beauty, the self-help movement, fame, the brain, American culture, religion, marriage, anti-depressants, anxiety, smiling and meditation relate to Happiness
