How to Be Happy

"I just want to be happy" is a common, profound refrain. But what does it actually mean to achieve happiness? Why do we see it as so important, and what are the practical, actionable steps we can take to achieve this crucial goal? This course offers a structured and thoughtful exploration of these key issues, moving beyond simple platitudes to deliver a comprehensive approach to personal fulfillment.

This course will help you develop a fuller, more nuanced understanding of happiness, explore the essential relationship between happiness and overall wellbeing, and outline proven strategies for achieving genuine happiness and improving your wellbeing. Following a short introduction, the course offers six insightful video-based lessons. In the first lesson, we explore the meaning of happiness itself and strategically position it within the context of the ‘happiness spectrum’. Crucially, we introduce the proprietary WELL-BEING framework, which is a powerful, systematic model for personal growth. Lessons 2 through 6 then methodically explore the different, interconnected elements of this comprehensive framework. To maximize your learning experience and ensure long-term retention, a Module Companion Workbook is provided and must be printed out. This workbook contains dedicated space for notes and an exercise relating to each of the lessons, serving as an important resource to help extend and consolidate your understanding and provide you with a valuable set of notes for future reference. This is your opportunity to invest in a systematic approach to lifelong happiness and wellbeing.
