SUMMARY:Science and Religion Part 4: The Pursuit of Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Come explore: (1) the evolution of our philosophical\, theological & psychological understanding of human happiness and (2) complementary\, transdisciplinary\, “how-to-be” attitudes and practical action steps on how to more regularly experience it. Consilience of spiritual & scientific perspectives provide leveraged power to increase both individual flourishing and societal well-being through and beyond the controllable aspects of our lives. Attendees will leave with ethical\, research-informed recommendations to help counter rising levels of anxiety\, depression & loneliness in our “24/7 always on\, but loosely connected world.”
