About the Evening of Happiness: A rare workshop by Dr Rekha Shetty bestselling author of Innovate Happily and Happiness Quotient was organised. It was a fun filled evening that made the audience laugh, cry and make you think about life’s greatest prize -happiness.
The audience received tools to measure their happiness quotient and plan ways to increase it over the next year. Is it possible to achieve excellence in the corporate world and still be happy? The happiness evening answered these questions.
Shetty’s thoughts come from a deep study of many disciplines: management, sociology, psychology, economics, history and spirituality. Her ideas are practiced in over 30 countries.
The Indian tradition shows us that positive, radiant happiness is our birth right, and the programme illustrates how to achieve it for ourselves.
The happiness quotient is a concept that measures approximately, the measure of happiness each person has achieved in his life.
This programme provides a blueprint to increase one’s happiness quotient. It starts by describing the creation of a positive mind space, one that nurtures the positive emotions that increase happiness. It also discusses the impact of negative fields and how to avoid them. The workshop further states how anti-happiness traps people too. They require special identification as they can be very misleading, like a comfortable golden cage full of fruit, must seem to a free-flying parrot.
Whatever the external circumstances may be, the individual is responsible for his inner state. Events are not under our control, but our perceptions and reactions to them are. This programme is an investment in Life’s greatest prize - happiness.
