(Live Archive) The Science of Happiness During COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every facet of human life. Negative emotions like fear, stress, anxiety and depression are inevitable and can overwhelm even the most optimistic of people. What can we do to nurture our happiness during these unprecedented times?
Dr. Keltner, the professor behind the popular UC Berkeley course "The Science of Happiness" and founding director of the Greater Good Science Center, joins INFORUM to answer that question. He shares stories, tips and resources to help listeners cope with issues like talking to your children about COVID-19, finding connection while social distancing, managing financial stress and much more. Learn not only how to survive during this time of unrest, but how, together, we can thrive in it.
This program is generously supported by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Canet Foundation, as well as a collaborative of local funders and donors. We are grateful for their support and hope others will follow their example to support the Club during these uncertain times.

Honestly my level of happiness has improved with covid-19. Even though most of my family is out of work, this is the first time in a long time that we spend so much time together. I've been getting a pretty decent amount of sleep too. It's not all great but we are making the best of these times.

The same can’t be said with me, my life has fell apart and I have had boatloads of suicidal thoughts, depression, anger, pain, jealousy and hell, I’m only a teenager and I have suffered a lot, but at least the good thing is that I’m still alive, I have a roof over my head, I have food, water, games, etc, I’m still fighting with depression and suicidal thoughts, send your prayers, thank you very much Tuesday, July 6, 2021, 9:13 AM
