"Tal has genuinely
boosted my life skills."

"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."

"Passion and authenticity
for his work"

"In times of transition, from difficult to easefull, from good to great, from old paradigms to new, we all seek guidance that includes wisdom, inspiration, practical tools, and the sense that we are in caring and trustworthy hands. Tal provides all this and brings such a passion and authenticity for his work and what he teaches that we each find ourselves motivated to dream a bit bigger, build a bit stronger and enjoy our lives a bit more fully!"

"Many people have been benefiting from."

"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."

"Joining HSA was one of my best decisions...."

"All I can say is that joining HSA was one of my best decisions. The SPIRE model is a perfect combination of ancient wisdom, new knowledge and scientific research (among other happy surprises throughout the course). 
Tal is a talented and generous teacher and I am grateful to be a part of a group of like-minded, like-hearted people that I can now call friends."

"this is a transformative experience.."

"If you want to improve your life, then this is the course for you. The course is perfectly structured and very easy to follow. Some parts are almost addictive, I strongly looked forward to the next lesson, but as I started to reach the end of the course, instead of looking forward to next lesson, I found myself wanting it to slow down.

The course is not only theoretical, I learned many things to improve my everyday life. For example, I started to practice Mindfulness every morning. I also started a Podcast, where I share what I´m learning with Tal. I talk about my transformative experience because I think that now I am a better person, both personally and professionally, and equipped to help spread happiness around me."

"The course trains us to assist others and ourselves..."

"For me, the Happiness Studies Course trains us to assist others and/or ourselves to nurture and develop ourselves, as complete and complex individuals that we all are, by teaching or reminding us of ways; mindset; tools, and exercises to find the purpose in our every day and ultimately the purpose of our life. The course is created in the most humble; altruistic and enjoyable way with a lot of resources that can be (and certainly will be) used for a lifetime! "

"should be a “sweet obligation” for every top manager"

"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!"

"This was the best course I have ever encountered."

"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. "

"HSA program has made my dreams come true!"

"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. "

"this course are the building blocks for a good life."

"Tal's inspiring approach to the study of happiness mixes psychology, philosophy, history and life lessons to create a fascinating course with tangible positive impact for your life, your career and it even extends to relationships with friends and family. The skills Tal teaches in this course are the building blocks for a good life. I wish this was mandatory teaching in schools... but until that time, take Tal's course, it will change your life for the better."

"Its been a fabulous

learning journey"

.

"The CiHS course is one that's an extensive study on the subject of happiness. I pursued it with an intent to elevate my happy state and the key takeaways for me have been that I've started focussing on maintaining a happier state of mind, being content yet aspiring, being able to segregate challenging feelings(like anger/sadness/frustration etc) from happier ones, and living those only for the moment its needed, coming back to the NORMAL happy state almost always.

Its been a fabulous learning journey, equipping myself with a processed and well researched outline on how we can take a holistic route towards coaching the same.

I sure look forward to continuing the journey of learning and coaching."

"I recommend taking and living this course"

"Taking this certification meant a life experience transformation to me, to the extent that it gave me a purpose in my life, besides my marriage and growing my kids, trying to make them good people and for good, it gave me a new purpose in my life, which I have been looking for. I can’t explain enough the great happiness and joy it gave me to know and apply in my life all the concepts I learn during the certification. I can’t wait to learn more about Happiness studies!!! I recommend taking and living this course with all my heart."

"Certainly accelerate a happy life..."

This is a programme that will certainly accelerate a happy life.

As a professional coach, human resource development and organisational consultant myself, I have attended numerous training programmes. I recommend the HSA course to many people, not only for the specific research and examples of wellbeing and Happiness, but also for the actual wisdom it offers us in our day-to-day lives. And indeed, it contains many Happiness initiatives that can be used in everyday life and in the workplace. Happiness is not just about feeling positive all the time, but about savouring a range of emotions and allowing ourselves to be who we are, whatever we are. Dr Tull teaches those things very clearly in terms of SPIRE. I am truly honoured to be part of this programme. Thank you, Dr Tull.

Best Regards

"The certificate was the push I needed to..."

"The certificate was the push I needed to finally define my life purpose and turn my passion into my profession. I am convinced that sharing happiness studies knowledge with the world is how I can be my best self and make my maximum contribution to humankind. Attending Tal’s weekly webinars is how I nurture self love and self-care, while connecting with like-minded and like-hearted people around the globe. For me, is an honor to be part of the Happiness Revolution in Action."

"this program has returned 100 times its value!..."

"My investment in this program has returned 100 times its value!
Even as the world was plunged into darkness by the pandemic, it only took one click every morning to open this program, brighten my heart, and propel me forward into a future of hope. If only more people around the world could be exposed to Tal's exceptional expertise, knowledge, and love!
Despite its material wealth, Japan is known for its high rate of youth suicide. Many Japanese tend to take matters too seriously, and do not know how to enjoy life, as I did not. The number of people suffering from depression has also skyrocketed in recent years. I believe Japanese would benefit enormously from Tal's wisdom.
To convey the value of HSA I will be opening my own Happiness Center this month. My first group of university students have already signed up."
