Introduction to The Science of Happiness Certification

Introduction to The Science of Happiness

The path to being happy starts with a change in what you think about happiness. Do you wish you were happier, but it just seems out of reach? This course was created to demystify happiness.

Society has told us that happiness is tied to your bank balance and success. While those goals are great to pursue, if you look around yourself, you will see that those factors alone do not determine whether or not someone is happy. Happiness is now - and you can begin pursuing habits that lead to happiness no matter what else you have or don't have in your life.

The purpose of this course is to empower you to find and enjoy happiness wherever you are. This course starts off by giving you a new perspective on what happiness is. We teach you what really affects your happiness and show that you can change your natural happiness level.

The course also covers the importance of gratitude, self-love activities and relationships. Limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours that may be standing in the way of your happiness are challenged throughout the course. Completing this course should leave you empowered to pursue true happiness immediately.

You Will Learn:

  • What really determines happiness, according to leading positive psychology researchers
  • How to evaluate your happiness baseline
  • Practical ways to be happier at work, in your friendship and family relationships and when you are by yourself
  • How to set yourself up for happiness and success, instead of sabotaging yourself
  • Why relationships matter in your pursuit of happiness

Benefits of Taking This Course

  • Change your perspective about what happiness is and is not
  • Zero in on the big and little things that make you happy as an individual
  • Learn practical happiness habits to begin developing in your everyday life
  • Develop a more positive outlook on life

This course was very informative and i loved that it could be done at my own pace and not have deadlines to reach.

Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy!

Great course worth the money very detailed yet easy to understand and all official with a certificate at the end it's very interesting and fun

Absolutely amazing course.. I had so much fun learning with New Skills Academy. This course was so informative, set out really well and I learned so much. It was great that with two young children under 3, I still managed to learn and pass my course that I’m so happy about.

Also fantastic that for a small fee I am having my certificate sent out to me which is a great option for me. All that’s left for me to do now is practice practice and practice. New Skills Academy have given me the confidence to start my venture as a Face Painter. Thank you so much. Amy xx

I have always had an interest in property and estate management. I was unsure how to get my career started in this field without any experience or qualifications in that area. Also, having three children and a full time job limits my ability to attend to college courses. The online system they have at "New Skills Academy" is so straight forward and easy to use. I'm really enjoying learning and expanding my knowledge at my own pace and in my own time. Getting started was so straightforward, I even read over material during swimming lessons and the school run. I'm already looking for the next course to start!

Kayley Jones

I decided to change career and few of my friends did similar on line courses and now work as teaching assistants.

This course is very well written and understandable.There is a lot of important information,all the chapters are well proportioned and enjoyable to read and understand.

I really liked worksheets on the end of modules which give you chance to summarise all the important parts in each module.I can recommend this course to anyone who would be interested in becoming teaching assistant.

Zuzana Duru

This is an amazing course. Easy to follow and understand.

I am working with children already and I wanted to do a SEN course to extend my knowledge and able to work with a wide range of children including those with special needs. This course has twice the modules as an average SEN course, so it provides great knowledge in the subject. And this is perfect as it’s CPD accredited course. And the price was just unbelievable!!

The course has email tutor support and lifetime access to the course material which is brilliant for a mum, who is working currently as a volunteer to gain work experience.
