4th Event - The Great Lectures

The Great Lectures held its fourth lecture series event on June 23rd at the Bryan Park Event Space. We’re most proud of this event as we had two prominent and proficient speakers give talks themed “The Principal of Happiness”.

Former Harvard Professor, Dr. Muesse opened with a riveting talk on Happiness Around the Globe juxtaposing western culture with some of the most influential perspectives and practices from Asia. He ended with a unique happiness technique that the audience was lucky enough to participate in and take home.

Our second speaker performed talks on two topics, “The Truth Behind Your Happy Pill” and “The Psychology of Happiness”. Dr. Romie Mushtaq, a traditionally trained neurologist and Integrative Medicine expert provided both pros and cons of antidepressants, the causes of inflammation, gut-brain connection and a personalized prescription to healing. Her second and most captivating talk included mindfulness research, where she expounded on the difference between happiness and joy and took us through a meditation exercise our audience continue to talk about today!

In short, it was exceptional! Be sure to buy tickets to our next TGL event!
