            The Science of Thriving:  at Work and in Life                                                       with Dr. Heidi Grant HalvorsonJoin us and an extraordinary group of 20 + world renowned scientists, psychologists, and experts as they explain how each of us can be happier and more effective in every area of our lives, by understanding the science of thriving.What is this conference all about?The problem with a lot of the advice you’ll hear about how to work smarter, go farther, and live happier, is that it doesn’t actually work.  It sounds like it should work, and it’s given with only the best intentions – but it’s based on faulty intuitions and perceptions, rather than hard data.The Science of Thriving: At Work and In Life is a conference about what actually works.  It features more than 20 of today’s leading scientists and authors – including Carol Dweck, Dan Ariely, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink – and gives us a comprehensive look at how their cutting-edge research can be applied in our everyday lives.  You’ll learn how to make better decisions, tackle challenges and disappointments, handle pressure and stress, manage your time, make a good impression, and strengthen your relationships at home and at work. This isn’t feel-good nonsense – this is rigorously-tested (and often surprising!) science-based advice on how to livea happier, more effective life.What the experts share with us in this virtual conference:           •  Nine Things Successful People Do Differently with Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson           •  To Sell is Human with Daniel Pink           •  Choke: The Secret to Performing Under Pressure with Sian Beilock           •  The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone, Especially Ourselves with Dan Ariely           •  Focus: Use Different Ways of Seeing the World for Success and Influence with Tory Higgins           •  Sidetracked: Why Our Decisions Get Derailed and How We Can Stick to the Plan with Francesca Gino           •  Confidence: Overcoming Low Self-Esteem, Insecurity, and Self-Doubt with Dr. Tomas Chamorro           •  The 3 Secrets to Effective Time Investment with Elizabeth Saunders           •  Ungifted: Intelligence Refined (The Truth About Talent, Practice, Creativity, and The Many Paths to Greatness)               with Scott Barry Kaufman           •  Smart Thinking with Art Markman           •  Compelling People with Amy Cuddy           •  The Antidote: The Power of Negative Thinking with Oliver Burkeman           •  Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind with Kristin Neff           •  Mindset: The New Science of Success with Carol Dweck           •  Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success with Adam Grant           •  Mastermind: How To Think Like Sherlock Holmes with Maria Konnikova           •  What Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast with Laura Vanderkam           •  How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and The Hidden Power of Character with Paul Tough           •  Drunk Tank Pink: And Other Unexpected Forces that Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave with Adam Alter           •  Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect with Matt Lieberman           •  Brilliant: The Science of Smart with Annie Murphy Paul           •  The Myths of Creativity with David BurkusYou can have the wisdom of “The Science of Thriving” virtual conference interviews to enjoy forever.
