[Ailist] ScienceDaily: Reflecting On Values Promotes Love, Acceptance

[relationshipresources at fuse.net]

Hi all
If you have read Authentic Happiness you will remember that Neal Mayerson of the Mayerson Foundation (based here in Cincinnati) underwrote the cost of the VIA.  He and his wife Donna are both Clinical Psychologists and understand Positive Psychology in a very real way.  They will be presenting on the VIA at a meeting sponsored by AIC here in Cincinnati on October 14th.  They will be followed the next day by a presentation on the Six Conversations All Communities Need to Have by Peter Block.  Both topics seem to follow the current conversation on the listserve.  

Warm Regards
joan
