Happiness is…lessons from the Australian Positive Psychology Conference

Happiness is…lessons from the Australian Positive Psychology Conference

I recently attended the 2nd Australian Positive Psychology Conference and learned or was reminded…

  • that many of us already know what happiness is but just forget to apply it on a regular basis
  • how far the science of positive psychology and happiness has come over the last decade or so (but also that we still have much to learn)
  • happiness requires caring for oneself BUT ALSO consideration of others
  • living a good life is not just about individuals, but also about the institutions and societies in which we live
  • that being mindful is a powerful place to start from in the pursuit of happiness
  • about the many advances taking place in our schools and organisations in terms of applying the principles of positive psychology
  • that happiness is enjoying the good times AND working hard to get through the tough times
  • that happiness is good for business and for our children’s future
  • and so much more!

…and how great is all of that?
