Join me in welcoming Jeffrey Zahn on

Choosing Happiness – A Primer on Practical Perspectivism, Being a Perspectivist, and Living Perspectively

Our time will first cover happiness and perspectivism in general, and then we’ll explore how Practical Perspectivism can aid us in finding sustainable happiness for ourselves in our daily lives. We’ll investigate how mindfulness is integral to living Perspectively, and why being a Perspectivist is one of the best things we can do for ourselves as well as all those around us. Through a little mindfulness practice, perspectival reflection, and conversation, it is my hope to leave the group with tools to enhance their happiness in a sensible manner.
