Do you feel stuck in your current chapter of life?
The Happiness Project Experience is designed to help you live happier—without demanding a lot of time or energy. I’ve discovered that to be happier, we need to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth.
FEEL GOOD Do more of what brings us joy, love and connection
FEEL BAD Recognize and remove what brings us anger, resentment and guilt
FEEL RIGHT Ensure that our lives and actions reflect our core values

AN ATMOSPHERE OF GROWTH
Over the course of the program you will learn how to….
Start taking accountability for your health and happiness
Understand your values and tendencies for greater self-awareness
Develop strategies to create long-lasting habits
Establish order and build meaningful bonds and relationships
Build the life you want

What People Are Saying…
“
This course has helped me to know what truly makes me happy. The themes of each month are perfect for exploring the many facets of a human life. I plan to take one of Gretchen’s suggestions and spend 2020 going through the course again with the goal of solidifying the habits that increase my happiness.
— Therese A.
“
This course really helped me get to know myself better and what REALLY makes me happy. Before I signed up, I didn’t feel like I was struggling with anything. But, now that I look back and compare myself now to where I was at the beginning of 2019, I’m living a better life. This course helped me have the courage to make a career change, solidify better eating, exercising, and sleeping habits, dejunk my house, spend more time outdoors, and partake of more joy in everyday life.
— Heather R.
“
I loved the friends I made in our small accountability group. It was great to have yearly and monthly goals to reflect on different areas of our lives. Having The Happiness Project on my mind for a full year has helped me recognize my tendencies and distinctions to understand why things aren’t working and make improvements that make me happier.
— Suzanne S.
