Next Tuesday: The Quest for Happiness


Starting a new year is typically a time for reflection and goal setting.  To that end, Philosophy professor Maria Sanders explores how ideas of happiness have changed Western civilization through the ages.   

Sanders’ illustrated talk compares and contrasts major concepts of happiness and well-being around the world, delving into questions such as: Can money buy happiness?
How does engaging in one’s community impact happiness? and 
Why doesn’t the United States make the top ten in worldwide happiness survey?  

Attendees are encouraged to join in a discussion of current measures for assessing self-reported levels of happiness, specific findings reported to increase ones level of happiness, as well as happiness projects undertaken by entire communities.

Learn to set your own definition of what it means to live a full and excellent life  on Tuesday, January 23rd, 7:00PM at the library.

This program is free and open to the public.
