HAPPINESS Colloquium Presentation
“Doing Happiness”
“Doing Happiness” is not only a program, but also a way of life. Matt Glowacki’s presentation teaches people how to be a better friend, partner, or person by living in the moment and understanding how interactions affect us all. We all have the right to pursue happiness, but how many of us have the skill set to do so? Finding happiness is the most personal and important part of life. Everyone always says, “You can be anything you want to be, just be happy.” Isn’t it about time we all learned how happiness works, how best to identify it for ourselves, and how to share it with the other people in our lives?
