Be Happy

Release the Power of Happiness In YOU!

Friday, April 30th, Center for Spiritual Living

Seattle, WA Tickets: $40

Join Dr. Robert Holden for a life-changing talk on happiness. Robert is the creator of the world’s most famously tested happiness course – featured in a BBC TV documentary called 'How to Be Happy', now shown in 20 countries to more than 30 million viewers. Tonight, Robert will share essential principles and insights that are at the heart of his 8-week course on happiness called 'Be Happy'. He will also present a summary of the recent scientific research that forces us to rethink our most basic assumptions about what happiness is and how we can be happier.

In this practical talk, Robert will cover the following themes with you:
- Defining True Happiness – give up the pursuit of happiness out there and start following your joy.
- The Happiness Contract – allow yourself to be so happy you almost feel guilty, but not quite!
- The Real More - increase your natural capacity for prosperity and success.
- The Forgiveness Principle – give all hopes for a better past and commit to living happily even after.
- Gift of Happiness – use the power of happiness to be a truly loving presence in the world.
