“As Americans, we push towards many tangible goals…jobs promotions, a beautiful home, a certain number in the bank account, the latest fashion trend. Yet at the end of the day, why are so many of us still not happy? Doesn’t success create happiness? In a world filled with so much greed, discontentment, uncertainty and change, where do we find happiness? And can we actually be happy living in this environment?
Join Kendra Bylsma, Director of Wellness at AllOne Health as she uncovers the new science of positive psychology and shares the latest research on how we can rewire our brain to the positive. For the past century, the typical approach to understanding human behavior has always been to look for the average behavior or outcome. Worse yet, an exclusive focus on what goes WRONG in life…and how to remedy it. Traditional psychology wants to find the average reading level, exercise amount, risk of developing heart disease. Positive psychology looks at the outliers and wants to LEARN from them. If we study merely what is average, we will remain merely average.” Register for this March 12 learning opportunity ONLINE
