Taking action to increase
happiness in Brighton
A
new branch of Action For Happiness was born in Brighton
on March 22nd 2012; there are now over 2000 members. Action for
Happiness is a national
organization. Watch the Video
"Doing Good feels Good". The national website is full of
tantalising resources (great dreams: 10
keys to happiness, and a reading list) - have a look! great dream
postcards
Action
for Happiness is a movement for positive social change.
We're bringing together people from all walks of life
who want to play a part in creating a happier society
for everyone. For fifty years
we've aimed relentlessly at higher incomes. But
despite being much wealthier, we're no happier than we
were five decades ago. At the same time we've seen an
increase in wider social issues, including a worrying
rise in anxiety and depression in young people. It's
time for a positive change in what we mean by progress. |

The Happy Cafe
is a new development. This is a chance to talk to people
in more depth, perhaps doing something for them; to take a positive
approach and notice the world around you, to be comfortable with
yourself as you learn new things and try out connecting with people
in new ways, becoming part of something bigger. (In fact you can
practise all of the Ten Keys to Happier Living except exercise!?) meetup

Happy Lab
is
our 2nd innovation in the AfH Brighton group.
The 'Happy Lab' is a place to teach
and learn about happiness in a small, friendly group. The
workshops are dedicated to exploring a variety of ways to
increase well-being for ourselves and others, with a clear
link to at least one of the Ten Keys of Happiness. See more
on Meetup.
Activities planned in Brighton and Hove include speakers on
happiness from several viewpoints, workshops with practical
involvement, and ongoing self-help development groups to explore
happiness for individuals. Want to create an event? guidelines
