The Secrets to Happiness with Dr. Laurie Santos
Discover the Science of Well-Being
Join us for an inspiring and insightful evening with Dr. Laurie Santos, the renowned professor of psychology at Yale University and creator of the globally popular course The Science of Well-Being. Dr. Santos is also host of the hit podcast The Happiness Lab, which explores the science behind happiness and how we can lead more fulfilling lives.
Dr. Laurie Santos is a psychologist and an expert on human cognition, its origins, and the evolutionary biases that influence our all-too imperfect life choices.
Her work centers around how behavioral change through positive psychology can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. She is the Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon Professor of Psychology and the former Head of Silliman College at Yale University. Her course, Psychology and the Good Life, teaches what the science of psychology says about how to make wiser choices for a better life. The class is Yale’s most popular course in over 300 years and has been adapted into a free Coursera program that has been taken by over 4 million people to date.
Dr. Santos has been featured in the New York Times, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, CBS This Morning, NPR, GQ Magazine, Slate, CNN and Oprah Magazine. She was also recognized as one of Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10” and was named TIME’s “Leading Campus Celebrity.”
“You might think you know what it takes to lead a happier life… more money, a better job, or Instagram-worthy vacations. You’re dead wrong.” – The Happiness Lab
Learn from one of the leading voices in personal growth and positive psychology. Whether you're a student, parent, teacher, or community member, this event will leave you with practical steps to start living the life you want.
