In Search of Happiness

“In Search of Happiness” is a course built on the foundation of my book bearing the same name.

True happiness is not a destination, but a way of living. In this course, we explore the intricate landscape of contentment and well-being, combining scientific findings, practical exercises, and timeless wisdom to help you build a purposeful, fulfilling and effective life.

What does it mean to be truly happy? How do your core values shape your well-being? What internal obstacles might be holding you back from living your best life? These profound questions form the foundation of our exploration together. Happiness is not merely a fleeting emotion, but a state of being we can cultivate and sustain through insightful understanding.
