happiness, mindfulness, self-awareness

Are you happy? Would you like to be happier? Research suggests that we can increase our happiness quotients through mindfulness and self-awareness. Increasing mindfulness and self-awareness remain popular topics in both management and management education. More recent research links these practices to increased happiness. This session will demonstrate three mindfulness exercises that the facilitator uses in undergraduate management and organizational behavior classes. The facilitator will also share the ways in which students have responded to them. Participants will have the opportunity after each exercise to reflect on the experience of participating in the exercise as well as share their thoughts.
