The Happiness Paradox
Despite God-like powers, material luxury and over 2300 years of debate on happiness we have made only little progress on happiness compared to the ancient Greeks.
It is high time to take responsibility and address this paradox on an individual, school, organizational and societal levels.
Let’s learn to master happiness - together!
