Is Happiness Necessary?

In our declaration of independence, we declared our right to pursue happiness. But now research shows that if happiness is the goal, we are less likely to achieve it and that pursuit itself can lead to increased stress.

So where does that leave us humans who want to be happy?

Join renowned speaker and author, Dr. Dan Gottlieb, for an evening of sharing where we will explore some answers and perhaps find some better questions.

Since 1985, Daniel Gottlieb has been hosting "Voices in the Family," an award-winning mental health call-in radio show aired on WHYY 90.9 FM, Philadelphia's local public radio station. From 1993 until 2008, he wrote a highly regarded column for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled: "Inside Out," reflecting his perspective on the events in the world around us and the many ways we experience those events. He has also previously published a total of four books. His most recent, "The Wisdom of Sam: Observations on Life from an Uncommon Child,". In it, Dan tells of some of the remarkable insights shared by his grandson Sam who is on the autism spectrum. All of his royalties are donated to children's charities.
