What is happiness? What things seem to NOT matter for happiness? What things DO impact happiness?
According to Martin Seligman, what are the “three different happy lives?” Which is the most important to you, and why?
What does “flow” mean, in terms of Positive Psychology?
What are some things we can do to be happier (Both according to your reading and Seligman)? Which things might you employ in your own life?
