| The UST Happiness Project
This month, inspired by author Gretchen Rubin’s new book The Happiness Project, Counseling & Disability Services offered students, faculty and staff the opportunity to think about what makes them happy, and then tell us about it!
Rubin’s book chronicles a year she spent actively thinking about the little (and big) things that make her happy and taking steps to re-organize her life accordingly. She writes on her blog: “My happiness project has convinced me that it’s possible to be happier by taking small, concrete steps in your daily life.” (happiness-project.com)
Research in the area of positive psychology confirms that it is possible to increase your overall happiness and general sense of well-being, regardless of your life circumstances. (authentichappiness

To get the UST community started on a happiness project of its own, C&DS posed the question “What makes you happy?” and asked students, faculty and staff to write their responses on 4 x 6 index cards. The results have been displayed in Crooker Center.
Stop by, and take a look!
Sincerely,
C&DS Staff |
