Happiness: Self-Care in Uncertain Times
​
These are uncertain times. Emotional instability and work insecurities are impacting more ASL-English interpreters and more deeply than ever before. This book discussion will use Mo Gawdat’s Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy as a framework to explore self-care in on-going uncertain times where a new norm is forming. This book offers a step-by-step process to find enduring contentment with present situations and optimism for the future.
