About this Course

Happiness is often defined as a state of being where one feels positive and has an overall sense of satisfaction towards life. The yardstick for feeling happy are related with good health, feeling safe, financial stability, being part of a community and a good place of work. 

In social experiments where people are asked to ask for any boon, they have been seen to often end up asking for everything but happiness, till the time that they are reminded that they can also choose happiness. These studies show how we all know happiness is important for us, but when it comes to prioritising it, we are unsure about the concept. It is far from a vague term, and psychology and science tell us what precisely constitutes happiness. There is, in fact, a formula to be happier, and it is deeply woven with nurturing our emotional wellbeing.

A happy individual is likely to maintain good relationships and be more productive and healthier in general. Happiness is often a culmination of a deep state of satisfaction and internalised feelings of well-being. So, for an individual, answering “How happy are you?” or “How do you feel about your life?” may be difficult, given how deep-seated and subjective happiness triggers and effects are. However, the people’s happiness and emotional well-being on a nation’s development and socio-economic progress are now undeniable, proven in countless studies.

But people don’t understand what exactly happiness is. You might be successful and have all riches but still might not be happy. Happiness is a combination of how satisfied you are with your life and how good you feel on a day-to-day basis. Happy people are more productive, better leaders, have stronger immune systems and have more friends. The key to happiness is emotional, physical and social wellbeing

In the new world system, creating Happiness is like building muscles. You need to exercise regularly to build muscles and similarly to experience happiness, you need to work on it bit by bit. No one apart from you are responsible for your happiness, the sooner we realise better it is for everyone

Happiness is a science and research has helped understand how human well-being and a fulfilling life are inter-linked. While exploring scientific methods and habits that affect individual happiness, Happy+ designed the Wheel of Wonderful (WOW) Life.

This Program is designed for students to take self-ownership of their happiness along with how they can nurture a happy environment where others thrive. As an individual, having better control of their lives instead of letting external factors determine how they feel and experience life, is important. 

Our curated learning pathways help close knowledge gaps and assist you in taking accountability of your happiness. By following the right set of positive habit formation can bring about a paradigm shift in your life.

Our WOW Life model has six elements, which, if worked on continuously, can enhance our wellbeing. These are Meaningfulness, Work-life engagement, Relationships, Being, Achievements and Timescale. Each of these elements in isolation can bring us happiness, but if pursued together, they bring what positive psychologists call a state of Thriving. Our conscious and continuous practice of these each element, bit by bit, on a daily basis, helps to create positive and healthy habits and make a better tomorrow for ourselves. It is about constantly improving & becoming better version of who you are!
