The New Science of Positive Psychology/
Psychiatry and How it Leads to Success
Course Description
Psychology and Psychiatry have always focused on illness with the goal of returning the patient to normal or average. This new field of science which was started just 20 years ago focuses on positive emotions and behavior with the goal of understanding how to strive for a more fulfilling life. Happiness, it seems, leads to success, and it can be said that success orbits around happiness. Strive first to be happy in the present, and you are more likely to become successful. Success will not lead to happiness.
The speaker will draw on many sources to give you a daily guide to increase your positive thinking and happiness and greatly improve your chances of success. The inspiration for this topic was “Positive Psychology 1504”, Harvard’s groundbreaking course and “the most popular course in the history of Harvard University”. Harvard’s class is taught over 27.5 hours and teaches empathy, friendship, love, achievement, creativity, spirituality and humor. Penn now offers a Masters Degree in Applied Positive Psychology, and many other universities are planning the same. Let’s focus on the positive not the negative for 50 minutes, what do you say? Those in public accounting really, really need this class…
Learning Objective
Learn the 5 daily steps to increase your happiness and the 6 factors for total well-being. The goal is to increase your happiness which is scientifically proven to increase your success in all aspect of life.
