New Moon Global Call to Action
Cultivating Happiness A FREE Interactive Global Conversation with Michael & Roger Walsh M.D. Monday, October 28th, 9-10:30am Pacific There is nothing selfish about enjoying yourself. In fact, as wise people have long said and psychologists have since discovered, happiness makes people less self-focused and more altruistic.
Roger N. Walsh Everyone wants to be happy but what creates deeper and more lasting happiness? Interestingly, research is now validating ancient wisdom. Money, for example, is surprisingly ineffective-- it can alleviate the suffering of deprivation, but above a certain minimum does precious little to increase lasting happiness.
So what does work? Many things will bump up happiness temporarily, but long term is a very different matter. Researchers have found three things that do this effectively. What are they? 1) Cultivating gratitude ~ Particularly effective is writing down something each day for which you feel grateful. 2) Reframing difficult experiences positively ~ This, of course, is the old practice of looking for the silver lining. 3) Generosity ~ The old wisdom is true--in giving to others we give to ourselves, and the happy result is a "helper's high." Join Michael and Roger for this rich interactive dialogue on how we can cultivate happiness, joy and, do we dare say, ecstasy? Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
