Description
Description:
Everyone wants to be happy. While clinicians and researchers traditionally focused on helping troubled people feel less distressed—moving from -5 to 0 on the happiness scale—more recently they’ve branched out to investigate what actually leads to enhanced well-being. Some research findings point in surprising new directions, while others echo advice heard from wise elders and religious teachers across cultures and centuries. This address will explore the surprising parallels between recent discoveries and insights from ancient Buddhist traditions in providing pathways to well-being for therapists and clients alike.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe why most habitual attempts to find happiness ultimately backfire.
- Identify enduring sources of satisfaction that are not subject to the hedonic treadmill.
