Most of us would say that we want to be happy
But the word can mean many different things. And it’s used so freely that for a lot of us it has lost its currency.
So can we find more happiness? What is happiness anyway? And is there more to life than just having a smiley face?
The Happiness Course is designed to address these questions, and many more.
A brief history
The course began life in SE London in 2009, as Andy worked with the community there. On discovering the recent wellbeing research, he began to translate it into a form that engaged directly with people’s felt needs.
He has run the course many times since then, in a great variety of contexts. As you can see from the quotes below, the response is regularly, “Thank you for opening my eyes, I really need to get hold of this more in my life.”
He has created a number of other courses, most recently the Lasting Happiness Course , online. But The Happiness Course remains the standard-bearer. Andy provides a training day for those who would like to run it locally themselves
