The Science of Happiness

Happiness not only makes us feel good about ourselves but also affects our lives in many ways. The science of happiness course explains what makes human beings flourish and why we feel stressed and unhappy. Dealing with constant stress and struggling with unpleasant memories can pose barriers to happiness. The human brain processes emotions and experiences in a certain way, and our perceptions of experiences can affect our ability to be happy.

The course explains the fundamental psychology that underlies happiness and describes techniques that can sustain long-term contentment. While some part of happiness is genetically determined, we can improve our happiness levels through personal control.

What You Will Learn:

  • How happiness is defined in terms of psychology and the different emotions that contribute to happiness
  • The different forms of happiness and their effects in the short and long term
  • The different models of happiness and techniques to sustain long-term happiness
  • How the brain processes positive experiences in terms of function
  • How different types of memory contribute to happiness
  • How the brain operates to trigger responsive and reactive modes
  • How negativity bias affects the ability to process positive experiences
  • How repetition and emotion affect the formation of neural circuits

Benefits Of Taking the Course:

  • You will be able to differentiate between fleeting happiness and implement strategies that can enhance long-term satisfaction
  • Once you understand how the brain works, you can enjoy higher levels of happiness
  • You will discover how to focus on positive experiences and alter the way your brain processes experiences
  • Higher happiness levels will help you become calmer, enjoy better health, and boost your ability to deal with challenges

    As a teacher I have experienced working with children with a range of learning and physical abilities. This course helped consolidate my knowledge and understanding gained during my 12 years of teaching and working with SEN children. It also added knowledge about the various diagnoses and categories and how to recognise them to support children’s learning.

    I found the course easy to navigate, informative and I enjoyed the learning experience. In the future it will help me to think of the children in my care and how best to support their learning needs to achieve the best they can. I hope to someday specialise in working with children with SEN.

    It was great, lots of knowledge and able to learn at my own pace was fantastic, and that I have access to it after completing exam is great too!

    I am excited to start further learning and will likely try another course provided from this website! Exam was easy and straight forward, and provided you with the questions you did not get correct so that you are able to further study.

    I have recommended this site to friends and family, and will continue learning! Thank you so much New Skills Academy! You are an amazing site and I am grateful!

    The course was really easy to access, very clear and easy to read.

    Packed with information about so many different topics and situations you may be in as a PA. Helped lots of Microsoft too which I didn’t know about. Very glad I did this course as I have learnt a lot of new things that I didn’t even know you could do online.

    I will be looking in to starting new courses with New Skills Academy as it really was so well presented, great support if you needed it and can access it anywhere and continue at any time, thank you.

    My course was the Pet Sitting and Dog Walking course. It is quite an interesting course! It was perfect to learn, and this what I was looking for.

    Easy and clear to understand with many helpful pictures, very helpful extra information, very informative. I really enjoyed studying this course. For me it was fun ? I studied when I have had time, which is great for me in addition to my current job.

    I hope I can start soon my new career with my newly learned skills. I am so excited. Fully accredited course which is important for me. I will definitely recommend New Skills Academy!

    Tamas Fekete

    Amazing course, great for people that never have time to go to college or evening classes. So easy to complete online and step by step instructions to help you. Will definitely be doing another course after this.

    I’m starting my own business and this course will help me get started as it states all the things I need to know and to be aware of. I can’t wait until I have completed this as this will be a new chapter in my life. You have no time limit on this course which is great as I have a very busy life but this course gives you no pressure.

    Would recommend this to anyone.

    I have a BA in Creative Writing, and I learned a lot from this course on the specifics of writing fantasy. With interesting subject matter and a worksheets that you can adapt for future writing, this course was absolutely worth the investment. It also allowed me to develop my teaching CV through its accredited certificate. I am looking forwards to incorporating some of the things I learned through the Fantasy Writing course in to my curriculum and classroom activities. If you have an interest in writing, or if you are an English teacher too, this series of courses are absolutely worth investing in.
