The Science of Happiness and Mental Resilience

Many people believe that the goal in life is happiness, but many people see this as a passive thing and something that isn’ able to be contrived. However, there is a science behind happiness and it’ a skill that people can learn with specific steps to reach that goal. Although part of what determines someone’ happiness is genetics, happiness can be controlled by practicing specific techniques. In this next LinkedIn Live, Dr. Trish George, Psychology Professor at USC and Dr. Leann Pereira, Senior Director of Organizational Psychology at Emtrain, will discuss how people can control their happiness and the different factors that play a role in this. Trish will explain the 3 Ps that are essential to happiness: Pleasure, Passion and Purpose, and how people can use each of those to obtain happiness. They will also discuss how this ties into mental resilience and the importance of this in every aspect of life.
