The Four Levels of Happiness^®

Happiness is the only goal that people pursue for its own sake, which makes it an ideal lens for explaining why people and organizations behave as they do. The Four Levels of Happiness model shows leaders how to elevate the powerful drive for happiness and direct it toward shared goals, strong ethics, and great performance.

"Every Person Wants to Leave a Legacy in Life”

Excerpts from Fr. Spitzer Orange Coast Legatus Talk
 
Fr. Robert Spitzer is often introduced as a compelling and passionate speaker.  If you haven’t had a chance to hear him speak yet, here's a chance for you to see what people are talking about. Fr. Spitzer was in Newport, California, on November 10 to address the Orange Coast Chapter of Legatus. His 45-minute talk was recorded, and the video posted below includes nine minutes of excerpts.

While the theme of his talk was “The Four Levels of Happiness,” Fr. Spitzer also discussed how people of faith can integrate their faith life and their work life. Legatus is an association of Catholic CEOs and business leaders, and its mission is helping members “to study, live, and spread the faith in our business, professional and personal lives.” Fr. Spitzer is the former International Chaplain of Legatus and a much-sought speaker at chapter meetings because of his ability to speak directly to this mission.
