This Week on Destination Happiness..
Happy People
Professor Lea Waters has been dealt her fair share of adversity in her life. After a period of intense bullying at both home and school throughout her childhood, her darkest days culminated with the loss of her sister to suicide. Instead of letting everything get the best of her, Professor Waters decided to rise above and engineer her future in a more positive way. This, she says, is what drove her to become one of the world’s leading psychologists in the field of positive psychology.
