What if you got really good at being happy?
You already know you want to be happy. The harder question (the one most of us can't actually answer) is what makes us happy. I couldn't, for a long time.
This is my favorite thing I teach, and I've run it twice before. This time we're making it better, new material, same core idea: happiness isn't something you finally arrive at.
It's something you learn to notice, create, and cultivate.

Notice it
Learn to catch happiness while it's happening — the big stuff and the wonderfully mundane.
Create it
Stop waiting for it to show up. Try things, go places, make things, play.
Cultivate it
Turn what you learn about yourself into something you can actually use.
Happiness doesn't always look like happiness. I happen to love ironing clothes for my family, not exactly a top-ten life pleasure, but there's something about it that connects me to who I am.
That's what we're getting curious about — the moments that quietly matter, whatever shape they take for you.
We need happiness when things are hard, too.
This isn't toxic positivity, and it isn't about pretending life is easier than it is. You can care about what's happening in the world and still laugh. You can grieve and still feel wonder. You can want something to change and still find something good in today.
You don't have to wait for life's permission to be happy.
The goal is a happier life. Whatever that means to you.
Not happier all the time. Not a life without hard things. A life where you understand your own happiness well enough to notice it when it's here, create more opportunities for it, and cultivate it when it feels harder to find.
Your life might not change that much.
People don't usually leave this program and move across the country or reinvent themselves. Life looks remarkably similar. What changes is the experience of it, they notice more, understand themselves better, and find happiness in places they used to walk right past.
Sometimes that leads to bigger changes. Sometimes it just reveals there was already more happiness here than you realized.
What people found here.
FROM THE LAST TWO ROUNDS
"
Happy AF is exactly what I needed after I became sober. Not only has it given me the tools to be in control of my own happiness, it's had a huge impact on my family.
"
One of the most impactful practices was the idea of intention versus achieving goals — it just helps me go in the direction I want.
What we'll actually do
01
Look back at moments you've felt happy, alive, or fully yourself, and see what they teach us
02
Practice noticing the happiness that's already happening
03
Chase some novelty and curiosity by trying new things
04
Go looking for awe and wonder instead of waiting for them to find us
05
Rediscover hobbies, interests, people, places, and things you used to love — and explore some you haven't discovered yet
06
Experiment, compare notes, and probably discover some strange things about ourselves
There is happiness already happening in your life. There is happiness you can create. And there is happiness you haven't discovered yet.
Let's go find some of it. Six weeks, live, in a small group — Monday evenings, hosted in Circle. Round three of a program I love teaching, made a little better this time.

Do you know what happiness is?
Years ago, my therapist asked me a question I didn't know how to answer:
“Do you know what happiness is?”
I knew the things I thought would make me happy. I knew the life I imagined would make me happy. But I hadn't spent much time thinking about what happiness actually felt like in my own life.
That question stuck with me.
And apparently I took it pretty seriously.
If you catch me reading a book these days, there's a pretty good chance it's about happiness. I've spent years thinking about it, reading about it, talking about it, experimenting with it, and paying attention to my own life.
And one of the biggest things I've learned is that happiness isn't only found in the big moments.
It's being with my family. Teaching. A great conversation. Going somewhere I've never been. Standing somewhere beautiful and feeling completely blown away by it.
It's also ironing clothes for my family.
My life has changed in plenty of ways over the years, but one of the biggest changes has been much quieter:
I've gotten better at being happy in it.
Better at noticing happiness when it's already here. Better at understanding what creates it for me. Better at going out and finding some when I need more of it.
That's what eventually became Happy AF.
I've taught this program twice before, and it's probably my favorite thing I teach. Not because I have the answer to happiness.
I don't.
But I think we can get a hell of a lot better at figuring out what makes each of us happy, and then cultivating more of it.
