Happiness Engineering: Tune Up Your Life With the 5 Pillars of Human Thriving
If you achieve success but you’re not happy, does that really count as success? Perhaps you’ve read about people who have attained some measure of status, money and power but aren’t all that happy. Maybe you even have friends like that. Because of course you would never be such a person, right? :)

This workshop is about redefining success by putting happiness, thriving and well-being at the center of your life instead of status, money, and power. Turns out this is not so easy, because evolution has designed your brain for survival, not for happiness. So we’re going to need a little tune-up using The Five Pillars of Human Thriving:
1) Robust relationships
2) Meaningful work
3) Sound sleep
4) Mental fitness
5) Physical fitness
Get them right, and you have a much better chance of long-term happiness. Get any one of them wrong, and your misery is guaranteed.
I’ve come up with The 5 Pillars after 8 years of research and traveling to the world's happiness hotspots. I'll share with you 1-2 practices from each Pillar to immediately apply to your life for a lasting happiness boost. Some key points we'll cover:
- The subtle reasons why Finland and Denmark do so well in world happiness rankings, and Moldova does not
- Why no one knows about the most common chronic disease in the US (80+ million cases!), and how it may be wrecking your life right now
- The one thing you can do to boost your relationship happiness starting this week
- How to increase happiness at work without changing your job or murdering your boss
- Covert sources of self-inflicted misery and how to uproot them
As a therapist and teacher, my job is to change people's lives in the time I have with them. So come prepared to roll up your sleeves and start the process of changing your life for the better!
