Well,

        Here we are three quarters of the way through the program. I’m very pleased with how we have moved from examining how humans inherently notice the bad first (and then often focus on it) and our societal obsession with “self,” to the social science foundations and practice of life satisfaction.

I am continuing to savor the weekend we spent together, applying the concepts and activities on the field trip, as well as our first deliberate (and often hilarious) run through the play. I hope you will take enough time to practice your parts so we can give it our best the final weekend.

I couldn’t be more proud of how much you have all invested in the program and in each other. I hope you will also savor this time we have spent together and use it as an example of how the world could change.
