Happier, in minutes a day!
The Happier Hour® Method helps you lead yourself through life with greater calm, clarity, and emotional resilience.
It started somewhere unexpected. While working as a psychologist inside a men’s maximum-security prison, Robin Engelman, PhD noticed that the men who stayed most grounded relied on tiny daily practices to steady themselves. That observation became the Happier Hour Method.

Can You Really Change How Happy You Are?
Yes. Surprisingly your life circumstances – wealth, marital status, employment, location account for only a small part of your well-being. While some of our capacity for happiness is influenced by genetics and circumstances, research shows that the way we think, where we place our attention, and what we do each day all have a meaningful impact. Small shifts, practiced consistently, can make a real difference.
