Recorded 3/4/26

Considerable research shows that those with more joy, laughter, and well-being in their life are more resilient, productive, and effective at work, and they live more fulfilling lives. This session is designed to increase fun, creativity, and joy. It also distinguishes between long-term well-being and toxic positivity. Through stories, activities, and experimentation, participants will learn the research and strategies to increase happiness and well-being within themselves, within the library culture, and with others. You'll walk away with practical ideas to well-being in the workplace and in your own life.
 
Learning Objectives:
• an increased knowledge of the research on positive psychology
• experiences with techniques proven to increase joy
• a plan to use the techniques increase joy & well-being in themselves
• Ideas for spreading these techniques in the library and the community
