Alumni, parents, and friends are invited to join the WashU Denver Network for a delicious brunch and faculty presentation to learn what makes people happy and how can we increase happiness in our lives?  Professor Timothy J. Bono will discuss the scientific study of happiness and strategies for life satisfaction based on research in Positive Psychology, a field that emphasizes the positive side of human nature.  Our society sends us many messages about what should make us happy (which many people buy into—literally).  What does the research suggest about the validity of these messages?  The results may surprise you.

Timothy J. Bono is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Washington University. He has won several teaching awards and thousands of students have taken his popular courses on the Psychology of Young Adulthood and the Science of Happiness. He is an expert consultant on psychological health and happiness for a number of national media outlets, including CNN, Fast Company, The Associated Press, and several public radio stations. His book When Likes Aren’t Enough: A Crash Course in the Science of Happiness, will be released in March 2018.
