About this workshop

Are you happy yet? What does “happy” even mean to you? In this 6-hour workshop, you will reflect on your mortality, your work, and your relationships. You will interact closely with your fellow participants. And you will walk out with strategies and tactics to bring more fun and fulfillment into your life.

This class includes all of the exercises and practices from Jim McCarthy’s internationally acclaimed, 3-hour “Happiness Workshop: Find Your Pleasure, Purpose and Peace”. But Happiness: A Day for Exploration and Transformation has more time to go deeper. Deeper into timeless wisdom on meaning. Deeper into the latest scientific research on happiness. And deeper into defining how you can more fully enjoy your life, starting today.

Whether you're depressed, delighted, or simply going through a life transition, this workshop will help you rethink, refocus, and reenergize. Jim brings his unique perspective — as a Stanford MBA, Internet pioneer, world traveler, Buddhist, father, and person living with a cancer diagnosis.
