In this presentation, John McCarthy Ph.D., will discuss a general model of wellness, explore insights from the World Happiness Report, and highlight recent findings on well-being. An international educator, author, and Psychology lecturer, Dr. McCarthy has presented in 14 countries on creative problem solving, innovation, solution-focused thinking, and positive psychology. He is the author of two books, blogs for Psychology Today, and has been featured in numerous national publications. Register online at www.murrysvillelibrary.org or call the library at 724-327-1102.
