How to Quantify Happiness, Laurie Santos – Video and Discussion Outline
Questions for Discussion:
How might the notion of self-reporting happiness actually be a serious study? And what might the importance of that be in terms of overall well-being, and resilience?
What does it mean to be happier? What might it mean to foster that in a youth group setting?
How is the difference between “being happy in one’s life” and “being happy with one’s life,” as Santos lays out, constructive in discerning how our youth are really doing? And how might we be mindful of that as we create games, spiritual practices, and discussion times with our young people?
