NIU psychology professor Lisa Finkelstein found love at a professional conference. You can, too, she says.
She is not talking about romantic love, but the kind of love that emanates from shared positive experience. And you can find it almost anywhere.
In a newly posted Psychology Today blog, Finkelstein discusses how this type of love, illuminated by Barbara Frederickson’s concept of “Love 2.0” in her book by that name, can bring more happiness to our lives, as well as possible health benefits.
NIU psychology professors are regular Psychology Today contributors. They’ve been blogging monthly on the site for more than a year.
