South East Asia is one of the most economically vibrant regions in the world and The Science of Happiness and Well Being
conference will attract many people from Singapore and around the
region. As personal wealth grows – well-being and happiness are
not necessarily increasing. Money alone does not necessarily buy
happiness and people are looking for something else to give meaning to
their lives – hence, the interest in alternative medicine,
meditation and other spiritual practices. The New Science Of Happiness And Well-Being will
share the history of, and latest research on happiness as well as help
participants understand how to develop long-term happiness in their own
lives. We now understand the “SCIENCE” of Happiness –
and that understanding has enormous implications for the workplace,
health, education, parenting, for the pursuit of material possessions
and for the journey of life.
The New Science Of Happiness And Well-Being conference
brings together a faculty of the 9 world leaders in well being and
happiness for this event – including the founder of positive
psychology – Dr. Martin Seligman – author of best seller Authentic Happiness
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY – THE NEW SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS & WELL-BEING EXPLAINED
Positive psychology is touching the
lives of people and workplaces around the world, transforming attitudes
toward health, ageing, education, parenting, families, cultural values
and economic development. Positive people are more engaged, happier and
optimistic. From a business perspective, positive workers have fewer
sick days, higher levels of self-esteem, perform better and are more
determined and motivated at work. At this conference you will learn how
to apply the lessons of The New Science Of Happiness And Well-Being
to your life, the lives of those you love, to your organisation and to
your community. Evidence shows that people with higher levels of
well-being and happiness:
- Have higher overall contribution to the community
- Have less health problems and recover more quickly from illness
- Are more effective parents
- Are better and happier performers at work
- Have less incidence of mental and emotional upset
- Recover more quickly from adversity
- Are more creative
- Are better team-players
- Have higher levels of motivation
- Form more emotionally stable relationships
Whether you are involved in financial
services, community development, government ministries, business, human
resources, social and corporate responsibility communication,
organizational development, marketing, executive coaching, training or
business consultancy, The New Science Of Happiness And Well-Being conference will make a valuable contribution to your effectiveness and success.
CAN WE TEACH OURSELVES TO BE HAPPY?
This new science of happiness and well-being challenges the
conventional wisdom that solving personal problems, leading a
“normal” life and keeping ourselves mentally fit (sometimes
expressed as how to move from - 5 to 0 i.e. moving from dis-functional
to normal) -is the appropriate focus of psychology. The new science of
positive psychology marks a break from the past by concentrating on how
to build happiness and success (or how to get from 0 to + 5). While it
seems to be true that some people are born with a pre-disposition to
happiness or un-happiness – positive psychology research
indicates that all of us can learn how to be happier, and many
individuals, societies and organizations are implementing these
findings to help them grow and succeed. The New Science of Happiness and Well-Being
conference will help you understand how to put the findings of positive
psychology to work in your community, your organization and your life
and become Simply-Happy.
