Why Happiness?
Happiness is a noble pursuit and one which crosses all ages and cultures. So what exactly
is happiness? Well that’s the truly tricky thing, it is different for each and every one of us! What makes me happy will not necessarily make you happy.
Current science tells us that happiness is something that is influenced by both genetics and our life situation. In other words part of our happiness comes with us at birth but there is very significant portion that we can influence with our everyday activities, in fact research tells us it is as much as 40%! Why not learn more about how to increase your happiness balance?
The Course
This course is based on the current work of many brilliant positive psychology researchers and practitioners including Martin Seligman, Sonja Lyubomirsky, Robert Biswas-Diener and many more. Happiness is not one size fits all, so it is important to get to the bottom of what is important to each individual. The aim of the course is to offer you the opportunity to learn and apply evidence based tools for building and sustaining everyday happiness.
The objectives of the course are three fold;
Learn (psychoeducational) – to learn about the science behind happiness and the activities which build lasting happiness.
Reflect – to identify the current patterns in life, identifying those which are supportive and those which undermine happiness.
Act – giving it a go, trying the interventions and tools to help identify what works, resulting in a toolbox filled with activities and knowledge to call on now and forever.
