Think yourself happy: happiness, inspiration and motivation - New for 2007 - Manchester
10.00 - 16.30
Library seminar room, Aytoun, MMU
Deborah Dalley
For many people being happy and motivated at work is a basic essential of life but how much effort do we put in to achieving this? Historically psychologists have concerned themselves with things that make people unhappy * for every 100 psychology papers dealing with anxiety and depression there is only one dealing with positive traits.
This workshop is designed to help participants develop an understanding of what happiness is and to explore ways to increase their personal happiness and motivation.
Objectives:
At the end of the day participants will have:
1. Examined the difference between happiness and pleasure
2. Discussed how closely happiness is connected to values and belief
3. Explored whether we can increase our happiness level
4. Identified the key things that motivate us to work
5. Developed an action plan for positive living.
