Life, The Universe and Happiness, talk by John Parkinson

Date: Wednesday 14th January 2009
Venue: Brigantia 342
Time: Lunch from 12pm, talk 12:30pm

What is the value of happiness? Why have a positive attitude and be optimistic? How important are these factors to our lives and our careers? This talk will focus on precisely why happiness is good for us and what factors make a happy person. It will also explore what the effects of happiness are and how we can work towards developing a greater sense of happiness and positivity. Ultimately, being happy is not just about immersing in momentary pleasures, but also about finding a sense of direction and meaning in life – and so the talk will consider both the emotional aspects of ‘feeling good’ as well as cognitive aspects of positive attitudes and optimism.
