What's So Funny About Happiness?

Friday, Sep 11, 2026 @ 7:30 PM PDT • Multiple prices


Description
Did you know that about 50% of our happiness is shaped by genetics and only 10% by our circumstances, leaving a remarkable 40% within our own hands? That 40% is where the magic lives, and it's exactly what we're invited to focus on through the science of human happiness, called positive psychology.

Join comedian, speaker and author Anthony Poponi of Focus on the 40 and Humore.us Productions for an uplifting, interactive workshop where the science of happiness meets the art of comedy. Through practical tools, heartfelt insights, and stories with plenty of laughter you'll leave with tangible ways to tend that 40% with a renewed sense of agency around how to craft the life you want to live.

Come ready to laugh, learn, and re-craft your life.
