What Can We Do To Be Happier?
We noticed some people seem to be happy practically all of the time, no matter what happens to them or around them. Over a period of time we interviewed and studied these "Habitually Happy" people from many different walks of life and life situations to see what they did differently from the rest of us.
Happiness Habits - We found Habitually Happy people have a very special set of values, beliefs, habits, ideals and boundaries that propel their ever present good cheer and protect them from stress and distress. We call these special qualities "Happiness Habits."
If you decide to adopt and apply the characteristics of happy people, you, too can be happy or happier. Why not give it a try?
Our Goal - To identify and share key skills that build happiness. We selected a Consumer Product Testing and Design approach similar to what companies like Microsoft® use to develop their products, to organize our data. We summarize our research results as simple, clear "Happiness Habits" that are easy to remember and apply.
Happiness Habits are:- Consistent with what most people sense and believe to be true about happiness;
- Consistent with the best academic research; and, most importantly,
- Actually help people build happier lives.
which validates our research results, approach and methodology.
You decide for yourself! See how Happiness Habits can help you build a happy life.
