Learn 12 proven paths to happiness and simple strategies you can start today with wellbeing professional Rebecca Byers of THRIVE Live Well. Be Happy.

Advice abounds online, in books, television and other popular media on how to be happy, but how do we know what actually works? In this webinar, a wellbeing educator breaks down 12 scientifically-proven strategies for building happiness from the field of Positive Psychology and outlines simple practices to create more peace, joy and contentment in our lives. Research shows that a large part of our happiness comes from the intentional activities that we have control over – the things we do, how we think, and what we feel. After participating in this enlightening talk, attendees will be equipped with dozens of practical approaches – big and small – that will bring more happiness to their days.
