High on Happiness

High on Happiness

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Even if you’re sure you are healthy and free from any specific mental disorder, May is a good time to take a moment and evaluate your emotional well-being: do you see the glass half empty instead of half full? are you not only down on the world, but constantly second-guessing your own inner worth? are you even happy at all?

Happiness is elusive for many; we all know that. But you can still seek it out, and even “practice” happiness: on the Stanford campus in May, there are myriad illuminating ways to do just that. See the Cardinal At Work article, Happiness and Your Mental Health, for more insights — including information about The Happiness Challenge and the fascinating speakers coming to campus soon, including:

May 12 – Barbara Fredrickson, PhD, giving two talks, at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. at Summit VI: Crafting your Culture in Paul Brest Hall. Learn more about Dr. Fredrickson’s research: The Power of Positive Emotions. For more information about the event, and how to register, click here.

May 18 – Byron Katie, PhD, speaking at 12 p.m. at Cemex Auditorium (Knight Management Center). “The Work” of Byron Katie is a simple process of inquiry that teaches you to identify the thoughts that may be troubling you. Register for this FREE talk on the HIP website.
