Description of Happy by Design

With stress and overwhelm at all-time highs in our society, it often feels that happiness is elusive. How can we find it? And hold onto it once we feel it? Once a subject reserved for poets and philosophers, happiness is now a well-studied phenomenon and we know more than ever before what behaviors and concrete strategies help people access joy and make happiness their new normal. And it’s often far easier than we think! In this eye-opening 4-part course you’ll learn all about the transformative science of happiness—and how to apply it in your life today to start accessing joy, hardwiring happiness, and bringing a myriad of associated positive benefits into your life.

This course is 100% evidence-based and drawn from the most cutting-edge research in the fields of behavioral psychology and neuroscience. But it’s also practical, applicable, and just plain fun!
