A College Course at Your Fingertips
Included in this book is Professor Clayton’s widely acclaimed course material taught in Oregon colleges based on the findings of Positive Psychology, and UC Berkeley’s Science of Happiness course: “The Art and Science of Happiness, Wellness and Success.” Some mental health therapists, like Julie R., Ph.D., LMFT, took the classes more than once:
I took these classes to learn practices to help my clients. I learned more about positive thinking and mindfulness than I ever imagined! Professor Clayton has extensive knowledge and expertise in this field of study. I would highly recommend any of her material without reservation.
