The February First Friday Lecture features Dr. Eileen Merges discussing "The Psychology of Happiness."

Historically, the field of psychology has placed a lot of attention on what’s wrong with people and what we can do to treat disorders of the mind. More recently, however, the field has broadened its scope to give more attention to the positive side of human nature and the most effective ways to pursue the good life. Dr. Merges will share research centered on the nature of happiness and psychological well-being, measurement of happiness, mindfulness, gratitude, humor, love, emotional intelligence, volunteerism, and the characteristics of successful relationships.

This event will take place as a live webinar. You will receive an email with a link to the lecture on Zoom upon registration.
