Research

Dr. Gillian Mandich studies the science of happiness.

Why is the scientific study of happiness important?

The study of happiness is important not only because it feels good, but also because it makes people better, healthier, and improves quality of life. Research teaches us that regardless of genetics, age, gender, and life circumstances it is possible to intentionally increase happiness.

Happier people have:

Better Health

More Energy

Lower Stress

Less Anxiety

More Fulfilling Relationships

Better Sleep
