CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Konocti Senior Support Inc. will offer monthly public educational opportunities throughout 2012 about issues facing seniors.

Tuesday, Jan. 24, will be the first session entitled “The Emotional Brain: “Rethinking Happiness” on DVD from the highly regarded PBS series, “This Emotional Life.”

You will learn three common myths about what makes us happy, why fewer choices increases well-being and the role our thoughts play in experiencing joy.

The trainings will take place the fourth Tuesday of each month from 11 a.m. to noon at St John’s Lutheran Church, 14310 Memory Lane, in Clearlake.
