Our Students & Graduates In Their Words

"This program is incredibly rich: apart for the core content, the recommended research, lectures, books, and movies will nurture my wholebeing for years. Tal to me is the role model of intellectual flourishing, curiosity, and deep engagement with the wisdom and beauty of the world. I am immensely grateful for his generosity in sharing knowledge and wisdom with the unique community that is formed around HSA, and which accepts and welcomes you as soon as you take the first step."

"The decision to sign up for this course has been one of the best learning decisions I have ever taken. The last one year has helped to grow as a human being. I have slowed down considerably and is able to savor my experiences a lot more. I have also managed to dig deep and recognize what I want to do for the rest of my life - help others to be the best version of themselves. I will be forever grateful to Tal and the HSA for offering me this learning journey that is truly transformational."

“Find the missing puzzle piece for yourself, change the world.” After 18 years consulting in employee engagement and organizational change while coaching leaders across sub-Saharan Africa, I found the missing puzzle piece in it all — Wholebeing Happiness. Tal’s unique combination of the best in evidence-based research, ancient wisdom, and practical tools offers us a way to transform ourselves personally, while making a profound difference in our organizations and communities. Through the MA in Happiness Studies, I am able to work more effectively with business leaders to bring the next Happiness Revolution to life — post-pandemic, something that our world needs now more than ever. The HSA student and alumni community is very special — a diverse group of people from every continent who are passionate about being together, forming deep connections, and working supportively to bring real change to life. “As I always say, there’s no better time!”
