Can we be happy all the time? Should we be?
Psychologically and physiologically, we can’t be happy all the time — our brains aren’t built that way. And the desire to buck that nature is harming us in immense ways. There’s a healthier way to be, where we replace the pursuit of happiness with the pursuit of well-being.
This three-hour live, interactive session presented by Josh Vaisman will introduce participants to positive psychology, the scientific study of human flourishing. We’ll explore the challenges of the “Cult of Happiness” and lay out an evidence-based approach for a more nuanced, psychologically healthier path to well-being.
Attendees will leave inspired and equipped to cultivate their own well-being as animal welfare professionals and leaders. Learn how to:
- Understand the cult of happiness and the destination dilemma
- Recognize why feeling bad is often normal… and healthy!
- Explore a variety of evidence-based practices we can use to build a resilient, sustainable mindset for ourselves and our team
This course is approved for 3 hours of CEs for both CAWA and NACA.
