Do you have what it takes to be happy?

I have a love for philosophy and am curious about experimental methods of working with the mind.  I have studied psychological interventions and developed my own value-based program aimed at enhancing well-being. I published numerous papers in international journals and I regularly present my research at science conferences. I thrive from public speaking and sharing my knowledge with students and other researchers. I like working with the media to popularise science about human well-being. I live and run my practice in Amsterdam and hold a position of an Associate Professor at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw.
