Calgary psychologist Provides timely Reminder to Canadians that Happiness is a Choice.
- (1888PressRelease) December 06, 2010 - Dr. Dan McKinnon, owner of Talkinc Psychological Services Ltd, a Calgary-based individual and business counseling practice, is prominently presented as an expert in advising Canadians on how to achieve true happiness.
Calgary, Alberta - What makes people truly happy? In recent times that question has been the focal point of researchers ranging from Psychologists, to Economists, to Public Policy Experts. Although each discipline approaches the question of happiness from different angles, all agree that people have more control over their own happiness than they might think.
Dr. Dan McKinnon brings a unique perspective to the discussion, having co-founded and managed twelve companies in six different industries before embarking on his current career as a professional Psychologist. One area of McKinnon's expertise is happiness coaching. A strong proponent of the new field of Positive Psychology, he believes real happiness has three components: pleasure, engagement, and meaning.
Of the three, every contemporary study on happiness points to the power of engagement with others as contributing significantly to true happiness or subjective well-being. According to McKinnon, something as simple as a pleasant and kind word or two towards a neighbor can have a very positive impact on happiness.
"It always points back to our social connections," says McKinnon. He feels pleasure in life can be short lived while a life filled with meaning and strong social bonds leads to a longer lasting happiness.
