Does getting what we want necessarily lead to happiness? Does the absence of physical or mental health conditions necessarily result in personal happiness? Traditional sources of security like achievement\, income and employment are now recognised by psychologists to be insufficient for holistic well-being. This workshop introduces participants to the emerging and exciting field of positive psychology that promotes well-being through positive emotions such as contentment\, gratitude and hope. This contrasts with the emphasis on reducing negative emotions seen in previous psychological scholarship. Through in-class individual and group exercises\, participants will have the opportunity to deeply reflect on what makes life truly fulfilling. \nWHAT PARTICIPANTS SHOULD EXPECT TO LEARN\n\nAppreciating the purpose of all emotions and embracing them\nExperiential exercises that promote deeper life engagement and meaning\nA self-assessment of the areas of life that has greater potential to flourish\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nAnyone finding that the achievements and financial security in their lives still leaves them feeling disengaged and lacking meaning\nAnyone wishing to enhance holistic well-being for themselves and others\nPeople wishing to apply the science of positive psychology in their work and in their relationships\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMr. Joseph Chan\, Master of Social Work and MA in Pastoral Studies\n  \n \nJoseph has worked in the social service sector for more than 20 years.
