UMA Rockland Center recently welcomed alumni, students, and community members for Talks on the Town: A Talk on Happiness with Greg Fahy—a pleasant evening of thoughtful conversation, good food, and meaningful connection.
Guests enjoyed the first hour catching up over refreshments and relaxed conversation before settling in for an engaging talk with Greg Fahy, UMA associate professor of philosophy. Drawing from global perspectives and recent research, Fahy guided the group in exploring how happiness is understood and experienced around the world, and shared research on happiness-boosting (and blocking) factors to explore, embrace or avoid.
Known for his approachable style and ability to make complex ideas feel relatable, he encouraged attendees to reflect, share, and think a little differently about what it means to live well. Fahy’s talk was also shared via Zoom for those who could not attend in person.
The event was held at the beautiful Riley School in Rockport and is part of a growing effort to create more opportunities for alumni and community members to gather, learn, and connect. More events are already in the works—and we hope to see you at the next one.
