"This has been the most unconventional, yet the most meaningful educational journey of my life."
Why Happiness is the New Currency of Professional Success ⚡️
The beginning of 2026 has been truly transformative for me. I am thrilled to share that I have completed a one-year academic course in Happiness Studies under the guidance of the incredible Tal Ben-Shahar , and I am now a Happiness Trainer Certified by the Happiness Studies Academy.
This has been the most unconventional, yet the most meaningful educational journey of my life.
My biggest takeaway? Well-being is not just a "nice-to-have" addition to success - it is its very foundation.
Over the past year, I haven't just increased my own well-being across all core life elements, I have fundamentally expanded my professional worldview. I now see more clearly than ever that human flourishing is the priority that must sit at the heart of any growth strategy - whether personal or organizational.
A massive thank you to Doctor Tal for sharing life-changing knowledge. Moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose and a new mission.

"I feel like a partner with HSA...excited to continue to grow and take on the challenges ahead as we change the world."
"In an effort to repair the damage in my heart, I began a journey to heal. I saw the course and it was a no-brainer- I signed up! The marriage between the lectures and the life journal was masterful. Knowing that it wasn't "homework" but, "me-search" was motivating. I "lived" the lectures, discovered new ways to approach my life and it also reinforced what I had already been doing. Tal was able to teach complex material in a way that was digestible. In fact, it wasn't until now, that I have realized how much I have been taught and how much holistic understanding I have of the material. He is a master and his love for this field is clear. He is humble and human and truly makes the student feel that we are on this journey together and that we are as important as he is to the course. As an alumna, I feel like a partner with HSA. I am excited to continue to grow and take on the challenges ahead as we change the world. Thank you for this gift. I look forward to the future and the adventures to come. The only conflict I graduate with is where to begin first?! I want to do it all- teach at schools, senior homes, seminars, build a happier center etc. I'll take one step at a time and it will unfold. I'm just glad that I have something more to offer our sad world. "
