Event Details
America’s gratitude guru and New York Times bestselling author Janice Kaplan presents her new book, What Your Body Knows About Happiness, with a new twist on how mind-body connections influence how we feel every day.

She is featured in magazines from Time to the Wall Street Journal and on Today and CBS This Morning.
