Find your trail to happiness as you explore the foundations of a happy and meaningful life with guided reflections and weekly action steps that you can apply directly in your daily life. With the foundation of our Six Principles, you have six key areas of your life to expand your skills and awareness, developing a greater sense of meaning, happiness and fulfillment.
Discover what happiness really is, and how it is a result of your actions, not a superficial, fleeting feeling. This course is a great foundation for joining us in person, as you learn tangible ways to apply the Six Principles on your own trail to happiness before joining us for a Field Practice training program.
