|
|

|
|
Thank you for participating in the 3rd edition of IE Happiness Week! This year IE Day and Creativity Day took place during the same week, which lent itself for an even larger celebration of community & belonging. Our student advisory board organized a week-long agenda filled with opportunities to cultivate positive emotions, gain appreciation for a greater sense of contentment in life and celebrate our uniqueness with the invaluable collaboration of so many stakeholders at IE including: IE Campus Life, Arts & Humanities Division, Sports & Well-Being, Creativity Center, Music Club, Arts Club, IExplore Club, Asia Club & India Club.

HUMANITIES IN CONVERSATION- TRADITIONS OF
WELLBEING AND POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
If one can speak more about a “science of happiness” today (parallel to other medical, economic and especially technological and political agencies entangled in its pursuit) what can one take from literature, philosophy, spirituality and other “arts” of the Humanistic wellbeing traditions? Is the "art” separated from the “science,” and can they be complementary and enrich one another? Students and teachers are welcomed to share and foster their view on what can be taken from the great narratives of the past when dealing with the challenging quest for individual renewal, new genuine expression and self-actualization.
