The Happiness Challenge

Test driving happines hacks

Author: Klaudia Mitura

Hello happiness seekers! Im Klaudia Mitura, and Im on a mission to explore the best happiness habits that science has to offer. Like so many others, the pandemic cut me off from family and work so I decided to use my training as a psychologist to discover what science can tell us about the art of happiness. What I found set me on a path to joy and now Im sharing my journey with you. Each month I publish linked episodes where I speak to a leading expert, put their tips to the test, and share my findings (and feelings). From mindfulness to exercise and random acts of kindness, Ill be shining a light on the simple happiness habits that can bring more joy to our lives. So join me as I embark on this challenge and together we can become more successful, resilient, and happy. Klaudia is a work psychologist, Chief Happiness Officer, and the Learning and Development Manager at the Science Museum Group in the UK. In September 2025 she published The Alphabet of Happiness available to order now: https://mybook.to/AlphabetofHappiness Check out Klaudias website for more information and downloadable resources: https://thehappinesschallenge.co.uk/
