Psychologist and author John Weaver, Psy.D. of the Healthy Thinking Initiative will speak on Binging the Science of Happiness to Work.

Mental and emotional wellness are key components to overall health. Training in the skills that foster life satisfaction and job satisfaction are associated with better health, higher productivity, and lower absenteeism in the workplace. The science of happiness that is emerging from positive psychology holds promise to increase awareness of the factors that comprise the blissful life. And the practical application of these skills will benefit both employees and employers through improved engagement in a healthy workplace. New possibilities can be seen when organizations let go of a reactive focus on problems and engage in a “broaden and build” strategy.
