How to Evaluate Well-Being Claims & Discover What Works for You

“How can I be happier?” is a question we all ask ourselves at different points in life.

Many “hacks” have been proposed to answer it:
– Think positively
– Practice gratitude
– Meditate
– Exercise more
– Socialise more
– Help others
– Reduce screen time
– Act happy

But how strong is the evidence behind these recommendations? And do they work equally well for everyone?

In this workshop, we will critically explore the psychological science of well-being and learn how to design personal experiments to discover what genuinely helps you.

Note that the workshop includes a presentation with slides, with some practical activities and discussion throughout.
