A Lesson on Presence: Being Here Now

In his book Hector & the Search for Happiness, Francois Lelord writes: "Many people see happiness only in their future." He also writes, "The basic mistake people make is to think that happiness is the goal!" It is for these two reasons that seeking happiness for the sake of happiness often leaves us wanting for more.

In this episode, you'll learn how positive psychology can help you be present in the moment, and develop the ability to savor micro-moments of pleasure.
