Positive Thinking for Cranks, Pessimists and Change Weary Advisors: A Conversation with Jeremy Adam Smith of the Greater Good Science Center
Struggling to keep up, manage new demands on your time and stay motivated? Tired of people telling you to suck it up and be happy? Does the idea of compulsory optimism make you want to scream? If so, Jeremy Adam Smith is on your wavelength. But as a writer and editor for UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, he also knows about a lot of research that can improve your life (and your work with students), if you’re willing to give positive thinking a chance. He’ll explain the science of happiness—minus all the happy talk.
A special event was held in June for a special summer “learn-good”, “feel-good”, “do-good” Advancing Practice program. See the resources below:
