Design your career

Uncover practical tools to design a career uniquely aligned with who you are.

Philip Eskenazi (CEMS 2009)

Getting Happier

Everybody wants to be happy, but no one reads the textbook. In this talk, Dr. Phil shares key insights from the science of happiness. If you’re like most homo sapiens, you’re doing it wrong: your monkey brain doesn’t want you to be happy, because happy monkeys don’t survive. Positive psychology offers clear guidelines on how to lead a more fulfilling life. Learn the principles, apply them to your life, and get happier!

Dr. Philip Eskenazi works in Executive Education at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. He finds happiness in helping rich people get happier. He also teaches decision making, drawing on his vast personal experience of bad decisions.

And… Mini talks by CEMS students

After the talks, you'll all walk over to De Smitse for networking drinks - flexible end time - stay as little or long as you like!
