Finding Your Key to Happiness

Is the key to success your job title, status, or salary? If you could do anything you wanted, what would it be? Author, consultant, and happiness researcher Aliénor Salmon has studied these questions ever since she decided to leave her job at the United Nations to follow her dream and embark on a journey to learn how to dance through Latin America. Along the way, she discovered that happiness is a way of life that you can achieve through embracing key concepts and theories. In this inspiring webinar, you will learn about the foundations of the science of happiness, including concepts and theories, ranging from ancient Greek philosophies to positive psychology, and how to embrace them in your daily life.

Women in War: A Historical View of Why They Mattered (a lot)
Presented Free Through Partnership with One Day University
October 21
4:00 p.m.
The woman warrior is always cast as an anomaly—Joan of Arc, not G.I. Joan. But in fact, women have always gone to war—or fought back when war came to them. Women fought to avenge their families, defend their homes (or cities or nations), win independence from a foreign power, expand their kingdom’s boundaries, or satisfy their ambition. They battled disguised as men. They fought, undisguised, on the ramparts of besieged cities. Some were skilled swordsmen or trained snipers; others fought with improvised weapons. They have been hailed as heroines and cursed as witches, sluts, or harridans.
In this lecture, Dr. Pamela Toler shares stories of historical women for whom battle was not a metaphor. Featuring both well-known and obscure examples — drawn from the ancient world through the twentieth century, and from Asia and Africa, as well as from the West — she introduces a group of women warriors who turned out to be more important than she expected: the most forgotten women in the category of forgotten women warriors. And she debunks the myth that the only women who fought were larger-than-life exceptions. Register for this webinar and check out other online events here: https://alumlc.org/saintpeters
