• While clinicians and researchers traditionally focused on helping troubled people feel less distressed—moving from -5 to 0 on the happiness scale—more recently they’ve branched out to investigate what actually leads to enhanced well-being.
• Some research findings point in surprising new directions, while others echo advice heard from wise elders and religious teachers across cultures and centuries.
• This address will explore the surprising parallels between recent discoveries and insights from ancient Buddhist traditions in providing pathways to well-being for therapists and clients alike.
• Educational Objectives: Describe why most habitual attempts to find happiness ultimately backfire.
