Yes, you read that right. Happiness is so important to our daily lives that researchers have developed an entire field of study around it.
Scientists have explored what it takes to create a good life and explored strategies to create more comfort, feel more comfortable in our own skin, and have an overall sense of contentment and satisfaction.
This field is called positive psychology and is the basis of the first Mindfulness Monthly theme: Habits of Happiness.
In our Habit of Happiness Masterclass, Petra Kolber, our President of Personal Development and Mindfulness, shows us how to create a life where we live and thrive.

Ideas that ignite together, wire together
Together we will see why we struggle to focus on the good in practical ways to overcome this struggle.
We understand why the things we think bring us the most happiness often result in short-term feelings.
And we’ll walk away with 5 key habits we can use every day to bring more joy and positivity into our lives and the lives of those around us.
Throughout the month, we’ll explore:
- Research-supported strategies to influence self-efficacy in happiness and well-being
- Your mind: How it can be your best friend and worst enemy.
- How to strengthen your thinking and in turn strengthen your health
- Five steps to implement immediately on your way to creating a life that flourishes and thrives
- PERMAH*– Expanding on Martin Seligman’s work on positive psychology and happiness
What and how you think matters. If your brain could change based on what you feed it, which thought would you choose?
