SANDOWN — This Sat., August 12, at 11 a.m., be a part of Sandown Public Library for an attention-grabbing and compelling NH Humanities Program, “The Quest for Happiness” with presenter Maria Sanders, Philosophy professor, Plymouth State College in New Hampshire.
On this illustrated discuss, Maria explores how concepts of happiness have modified in Western civilization by means of the ages. Can cash purchase happiness? To what extent does partaking in a single’s group influence happiness? When worldwide surveys of happiness are carried out, why doesn’t the US make the highest ten? Contributors might be invited to debate varied definitions, present measures for assessing self-reported ranges of happiness, particular findings reported as growing folks’s ranges of happiness, and happiness tasks undertaken by whole communities — together with a town-wide happiness quest in Plymouth, New Hampshire.
Dr. Maria Sanders has facilitated town-wide happiness quests, hosted native radio and tv packages, and traveled to all fifty states in the US exploring how areas turn out to be significant locations and the important connection between human beings, their communities, and the pure world.
