"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action"
Benjamin Disraeli
"Happiness is a choice that requires effort at all times"
Anon
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:
* Examined the difference between happiness and pleasure
* Discussed how closely happiness is connected to values and belief
* Explored whether we can increase our happiness level
* Identified the key things that motivate us to work
* Developed an action plan for positive living
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who is interested in increasing their personal happiness and motivation.
