In this live online interactive presentation, you can experience select Resilience Mindsets to find one or two that best support and enhance the rest of your 30-Day Happiness Experiment. Bonus prize: You'll get Resilience Mindsets mini-posters, which you can print and post next to your computer, in the car, on the bathroom mirror, or on a vision board (if that’s the way you roll) to foster a bumper crop of happiness and personal growth. Plus, you'll have another chance to intentionally connect with your whole Happiness Cohort! Yay!
