Just about everyone would say they’d like to have more happiness in their life. But what would that look like? How do you even define happiness, much less get more of it? Is happiness just an elusive concept beyond our control, or can it be nurtured and trained?

 These questions, and many more, will be answered by Geoffrey Ramsey in this illuminating talk about the quest for well-being and how to live a happier, more contented life. Drawing on decades of research and studies, as well as the wisdom of philosophers, theologians, behavioral scientists, mental health experts, attention researchers and neuroscientists, Geoff will highlight the most important principles of happiness while sparking your imagination and keeping you highly engaged. Through both words and visual images, Geoff will:

• Help you better understand how the human brain and mind are wired (in ways that work for and against us);
• Answer your vital questions, such as, How is Happiness Defined?, Why Is Happiness So Elusive?, and What Are the Ingredients for a Happier Life?;
• Reveal the six pillars of happiness, including Acceptance, Attention, Gratitude, Social Connection, Meaning and Action that, collectively, lead to a better, richer life.

Life is hard, but we can make changes — in our attitudes, perspectives, actions and even in the rewiring of our brains — to make a significant difference in how we show up every day.

This IN-PERSON EVENT takes place in the Parlor Room of the First Presbyterian Church in NYC. That’s 12 West 12th Street in Greenwich Village, New York.
