Martin Seligman spoke at the BYU forum today in the Marriott Center.
Listening from my office I found it quite interesting and relevant, particularly with the doom and gloom ever present in the news. Here are a few tips that he mentioned (they had be learned primarily through controlled experiments):
- Write down three things that went well today and why they went well. (After six months on average you will be happier.)
- People that deploy their greatest strengths will be happy.
- "Active Constructive Responding" helps marriages succeed.
- Do something philanthropic and your whole day go better.
Finally, he directed everyone to his
Authentic Happiness website for more information on being happy.
