Being Happy: Positive Psychology Book Discussion Group

In his book, "Being Happy", bestselling author Tal Ben-Shahar gives us not only the theory, but also the tools to help us learn how to accept life as it actually is instead of what we think it should be. By using the science of positive psychology along with acceptance, Ben-Shahar shows us how to escape the rat race and begin living a life of serenity, happiness, and fulfillment. Join us as we discuss "Being Happy", one chapter per week beginning on June 29th and running through November 2nd.
