"World-class professionalism"

"Dr. Tal Ben Shahar's 'Certificate in Happiness Studies' was phenomenally designed: comprehensive, user-friendly, and completely relevant to the learner profile: an adult professional in today's world. As an experienced trainer myself, I learned a lot and was inspired by his world-class professionalism.

​"An unparalleled impact on my life"

​"
Studying at the Happiness Studies Academy was a life changing experience and had an unparalleled impact on my life. Not only did I have an opportunity to test all my knowledge and techniques I had learned during the course, but most importantly I have met absolutely fantastic people who made me feel like I’m part of a great Happiness community. Having completed the studies, I feel like I have developed much better self esteem and awareness. This in turn motivates me to carry on with the Happiness revolution in Poland. I am deeply grateful for that! I can’t wait to see you all at the Thursday webinars!
