The month of August is celebrated by some as Happiness Happens Month! It was first established in 1998 by the Secret Society of Happy People and is the time to discuss and promote happiness–yours and others’. The relatively new field of positive psychology studies what actually makes people happy, fulfilled, and resilient, and tries to figure out how this happiness affects our lives.
Take a look at some of City Tech Library’s resources on happiness and positive psychology:
