This program illustrates the application of positive psychology through a
powerful workshop in which participants increase their awareness of what
creates happiness by performing acts of indulgence, altruism, and gratitude.
How to Be Happy also considers whether wealth, friendship, religion, job
satisfaction, raising children, and getting older typically do or don’t
promote happiness. An fMRI study on the effect of deep meditation on the
brain, a segment on laughter yoga, and a case study of Green Mountain Coffee
Roasters, a very successful company whose management style is firmly based
on the principles of positive psychology, round out the program. Original
