What's Happiness Got to do With Addiction?

"When I was in school and university I did not like studying at all, I saw it as something boring and that I "had to" do. Today I am a # 1 fan of learning new things and I have been studying other disciplines for almost 4 years and being deeply amazed when I learn something new. I was fortunate to find and learn about subjects that I am passionate about and I would like to study for the rest of my life, such as the science of happiness, human flourishing, yoga, art therapy and surely others that will open up along the way.One of the perspectives of the SPIRE model of well-being tells us about the intellectual gaze, and about how curiosity and openness towards other topics and areas of knowledge is fundamental for our happiness, before I would not have imagined that learning and sharing knowledge could be one of the sources of my daily happiness.Today I am very happy to have completed my study with @happiness.studies.academy as a certified happiness trainer and it is an honor to be able to share what I learned with Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar my beloved mentor and teacher. With love, Vale"

"When I started studying with the Happiness Studies Academy (HSA) in 2020 — at the height of the pandemic — I didn’t know the path ahead would take this long. The journey stretched over years of change: shifting roles, facing health challenges, and balancing work and life. But I never gave up. Today, I’m deeply proud to have completed this journey and earned the Certificate in Happiness Studies (CiHS) — becoming a Certified Happiness Trainer. Every step on this journey reminded me that happiness is both a science and an art — a practice that can shape lives and inspire change"
