Shannon Polly to Lead a Discussion on Best-Seller Flourish to CBODN
Washington, DC (PRWEB) August 12, 2014 -- Positive Business DC today announced that Shannon Polly will lead a discussion on the book Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being by Martin E. P. Seligman for the book discussion group sponsored by Chesapeake Bay Organization Development Network (CBODN).
The best-selling book, Flourish, builds on Martin Seligman’s work on optimism, motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life. Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about and has implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and public policy.
The session will include interactive exercises to help readers explore their own attitudes and aims as well as a collaborative discussion.
“We are very excited to Shannon lead this session. Shannon is not only an expert on positive psychology, but has studied directly under Martin Seligman,” said Jessica Zucal, president of CBODN.
Registration for the event is free and open to all who are interested. They can register at http://www.cbodn.org.
