How Can We Find Happiness for Real?

We all want to be happier, but why is it that the more we focus on pursuing a blissful ideal of the happy-ever-after, the more anxious, stressed and unhappy we seem to become? In this event, journalist, humorist and cultural commentator Ruth Whippman, author of America the Anxious, Why Our Pursuit of Happiness is Driving us Crazy and How to Find it For Real, talks about the American obsession with happiness, the corporate and financial interests that are driving it, and why we are going about pursuing contentment in a deeply counterproductive way. Based on years of research for her book, she reveals the single most important factor that genuinely promotes human wellbeing and how to go about achieving it.
