General CEU: Happiness: A Behavior Analyst's Guide to Well-being

Happiness: A Behavior Analyst's Guide to Well-being belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In A Behavior Analyst's Guide to Well-being, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

We will clarify common misconceptions about happiness, such as the idea that happiness is directly proportional to income, material possessions, or marital status, and provide a behavior-analytic perspective on these beliefs. Participants will also gain insight into the psychological traps that hinder our happiness and how to navigate them using practical strategies to promote sustainable happiness.
