The Tusculum College Psychology Club will sponsor a webinar today, March 3, from 5-6 p.m. , featuring Harvard College Professor Dan Gilbert as he speaks about “What Your Mother Doesn’t Know About Happiness.”
Dr. Gilbert teaches a very popular course at Harvard on happiness and is a leading scholar and voice on that part of the field called “positive psychology,” which focuses on healthy functioning, resilience, and “what works.”
Not a psychology major? Neither was Dan Gilbert… initially. A unique twist to his story, he was a high school drop-out who wanted to be a science fiction writer. Gilbert earned his GED, and attempted to enroll in a community college course to strengthen his writing. However, that course was full, and the only class that had spaces at the time was psychology.
The webinar will take place in the Brotherton Board Room (main floor of library) and everyone with an interest is encouraged to attend.
