Happiness Reflected
Community Creative Project, Vol. 2

Happiness Reflected Podcast: Season 2
This podcast is about reflecting on how to cultivate meaningful happiness in our lives while listening to University of Alberta community members discuss how they explored perspectives of their own happiness in relation to their original poems, stories, visual are and songs they submitted to this project.
We are grateful to the University of Alberta Library and the Sound Studies Institute who partnered with us to make The Happiness Reflected Podcast possible.

Cultivating Happiness: Insights from Mind, Brain, and Beyond: March 21
Is happiness something we can actively seek? Can it last, and do we have control over it?
This workshop delves into these fundamental questions, offering a fresh perspective on the intricate relationship between the mind and brain. We'll explore the mind as a dynamic system, constantly shaped by sensory experiences and mental processes spanning the present, past and future.
Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.
