Wednesday Schlafly Bottleworks, Maplewood, MO
MirthBusters: Facts and Fiction of Happiness
William R. Stuckenberg Professor of Human Values and Chair
Department of Psychology
Moderated by: Cynthia Wichelman, M.D. 
Randy Larsen has published widely on the topic of happiness and subjective well being.
He will debunk for us some of the myths about happiness
—
e.g., that money leads to happiness and that happy people are happy all the time —
as well as explore what recent psychological research has revealed about happiness.
He will share insights from his recent book
The Science of Subjective Well-Being,
which explores happiness from historical, philosophical, cultural
and scientific perspectives.
