TESTIMONIALS

"I have completed the course.....What an amazing experience.....Tal is an extraordinary teacher!

The HSA program has holistically changed my life. It represents the most profound learning experience I have ever engaged. And as a Vice President and General Manager for a fortune 50 company, I was exposed to very electric, dynamic and forward thinking educational programs. And none of them resinated with me like The Hsa field of studies program..I am completely committed to the Happiness revolution!"

"I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for this course. It is amazing. I am thrilled to be a part of this program. Each week I am excited to dive into the new material with anticipation. What Dr. Tal is teaching completely aligns with how I have been thinking and believing for the last ten years. This program lights me up and opens my mind to possibilities. It confirms how I have felt about the importance of the mind body connection. It also is not coincidental that I have just began my three year studies of somatic experiencing practitioner certification. Both programs are contributing beautifully to each other and I am confirmed that I am on the right track. I am currently a yoga therapist and I am so excited to see what is to come. Just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you!!!! With deepest gratitude"

"I just finished the final session, and I hope you'll accept this as my long and loud standing ovation. This course was AMAZING! I have gained so much out of it, both personally and professionally. It has motivated me to wake-up early in the morning to make time for the lectures, exercise regularly since last April (HIIT, no less : )), as well as build a solid routine around meditation (I do it while I boil my egg each morning, which takes 10 minutes at altitude : )). And, these are just the small changes that are greatly impacting my whole being and happiness. Now that I'm finished, I'm looking forward to reviewing my pages and pages of notes to think more about how to better incorporate all of this amazing material into my coaching practice. You can be certain that I've been peppering all of my clients with these learnings along the way. Meanwhile, I will miss waking-up to Tal's calm, yet inspiring voice, as he delivers endless wisdom. I'll also miss starting my day off with a cup of coffee, and the HSA video jingle : ). Thanks to all of you for delivering such an EXCELLENT course -- it's been one of the highlights of my year!"

Tal is an outstanding teacher; vastly knowledgeable, compassionate, and authentic. His ability to combine the rigorously scientific with wisdom traditions, literature and philosophy means that this multidisciplinary program has both great breadth and depth. The course material and tools are now a part of my life, and I will continue to use them, for the rest of my life.

My relationships have deepened, my health has improved, and I am happier and more resilient. I am a better coach, a better partner, sister and friend, and a better business person.

During this year of the pandemic, HSA became a cornerstone in helping me to deal with the challenges Covid-19 brought, and to align my life with a strong foundation of wholebeing. I learned tools that helped me, and also allowed me to help my family, my coaching clients and my co-workers deal with the pandemic certainly, and improve our lives overall too.

Take this program - you will be so glad you did!

"Tal's invaluable example and teachings inspire me every single day. Professionally, he introduced me to the happiness psychology that significantly influences my current research work of creating multimedia for wellness education. Personally, through practicing what he preaches and preaching with reliable stories, Tal has genuinely boosted my life skills and happiness. Because of his invaluable contributions and effective communication skills, I am grateful to have been (and to be) one of his students."

"I am very thankful I did get Tal as my mentor in positive psychology. The combination of Western sciences and Eastern philosophy of Tal's lectures, as remarkable as he himself, makes him very unique in the field of happiness study. That's also what I admire. He is generous to give us much support as he can when I need, including writing the blurb for my first book about positive education book. Now I am following the calling of devote my life to human wellbeing and positive education which makes me feel happy and meaningful. At At the same time, many people have been benefiting from what I am doing."

¨This program has allowed me to guide the lives of children, parents and other women, towards a more harmonious, family oriented, spiritual lifestyle. Doing this has filled my heart with much happiness along the way.
This program has done much more than allow me to guide their lives because it has also generated significant professional, personal and social changes in my life as well. Furthermore, this initiative has helped me deal with my emotions, has changed the way in which I see life and has taught me the real meaning of success.
I wish I had known these profound issues regarding happiness, self-knowledge, the integral being, and neuroscience, since the beginning of my professional life because many things would have been easier to deal with as an executive, a wife, a mother and a business driven person.
Thank you Tal, for all your lessons which have guided me along the path of joy, happiness, and what really matters in life.
Many thanks to you, Happiness Studies Academy and to all your wonderful Academic Team."

"The HSA certificate has been transformative in my life. I'm grateful for the high-quality teachings of Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar which have been a world of knowledge and inspiration that have enriched my life and have transformed the way I see the world. What I have learned gave me the extra push I needed to materialize my dream of creating a gratitude practice in the form of cards. Like Dr. Tal, I’m a firm believer that Gratitude is a superpower that every person on this planet can use to live a more satisfying life and become more resilient to take on everyday challenges. "

"In an effort to repair the damage in my heart, I began a journey to heal. I saw the course and it was a no-brainer- I signed up! The marriage between the lectures and the life journal was masterful. Knowing that it wasn't "homework" but, "me-search" was motivating. I "lived" the lectures, discovered new ways to approach my life and it also reinforced what I had already been doing. Tal was able to teach complex material in a way that was digestible. In fact, it wasn't until now, that I have realized how much I have been taught and how much holistic understanding I have of the material. He is a master and his love for this field is clear. He is humble and human and truly makes the student feel that we are on this journey together and that we are as important as he is to the course. As an alumna, I feel like a partner with HSA. I am excited to continue to grow and take on the challenges ahead as we change the world. Thank you for this gift. I look forward to the future and the adventures to come. The only conflict I graduate with is where to begin first?! I want to do it all- teach at schools, senior homes, seminars, build a happier center etc. I'll take one step at a time and it will unfold. I'm just glad that I have something more to offer our sad world. "

"We all know that things arrive in our life at the right moment, but having worked in the first steel global company (ArcelorMittal) as a SVP International Affairs 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…

This is why I believe that this course should be a “sweet obligation” for every top manager all over the world. Companies would spend less money in coaching their executives suffering from burn-out.

I wish I had had such a course after my two burn-outs!

Nevertheless, now that I am walking new paths I am applying all have learned to live with a deeper happiness! Thank you Tal!"

"The Happiness Studies Academy courses are so important for every human being from young to old to learn. It provides the most practical tools to elevate happiness and wellbeing. This was the best course I have ever encountered. Tal is a great lecturer, highly articulate and pleasant. He leads his students through a journey with a comprehensive material and knowledge that makes this course outstanding. I implement the tools I have learned in my everyday life and use it in my clinic as a Chinese Medicine practitioner. and it works :) Furtheremore; I started lecturing about happiness thanks to the coherent short lectures that Tal is providing each graduate.

The HSA is a community of happiness minded people and as a student and graduate I am enjoying the weekly webinars that Tal is holding for this community. The webinars are a continuum to the courses and great reminders for me to stay in the happiness journey. I thank Tal and his staff so much for this wonderful opportunity for my personal and professional growth. "
