EAP Workshop: Why Be Happy

Do happy people really have advantages over unhappy people or does it just seem that way sometimes? Is being happy something you can take control of? If you're curious to the answers to these questions, come to the EAP workshop on Tuesday, Dec. 11, from 2-4 p.m. in the Arkansas Union, Rooms 510-511.

Rebecca White of the Employee Assistance Program will give a workshop titled "Why Be Happy." This lively workshop explores some of the traits of happy people: gratitude, optimism, engaged in good and worthy activities, and connection with others. Presented in this workshop participants will learn how to incorporate these traits into their lives.
