The Certificate in Happiness Studies by Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar

"We all know that things arrive in our life at the right moment, but having worked in the first steel global company (ArcelorMittal) and later as the CEO of its global foundation for many years, I wish I would have known then what I learned with Tal Ben-Shahar. I would have suffered less, I would have understood more... Companies would spend less money in coaching their executives suffering from burn-out. Nevertheless, now that I am walking new paths I am applying all have learned to live with a deeper happiness!
Thank you Tal!

While the "Introduction to happiness" course focuses on more theory than practice, the focus of this second course is almost entirely on practice—application. Each of the lectures highlights a series of evidence-based techniques that can significantly shift the needle in terms of your own and others’ happiness. Over a period of 20 weeks—which will include lectures and webinars—We will introduce you to the science behind each technique and then provide you with concrete steps that you can take to make a meaningful difference in your life.
