About this listen

Are our schools preparing children for success or well-being?

In an age of rising stress, disconnection, and mental health struggles among students, traditional education is no longer enough. Parents, educators, and policymakers are asking urgent questions: What does it truly mean to thrive in school? How do we prepare children not just to perform, but to flourish?

Educating for Happiness offers a powerful answer: by integrating the science of positive psychology and the practice of social-emotional learning (SEL) into the heart of our classrooms.

In this groundbreaking book, you’ll discover:

  • How happiness, emotional intelligence, and resilience impact academic performance and life outcomes
  • Proven strategies for teaching SEL that foster empathy, self-awareness, and healthier relationships
  • Real-world case studies from classrooms that are already transforming student well-being
  • Practical frameworks for educators, administrators, and parents to build more emotionally intelligent schools
  • The future of education—and why student well-being is its cornerstone

Backed by cutting-edge research and years of experience at the intersection of psychology and education, the author makes a clear and urgent case: emotional and mental health are not extras, they are essentials.

Are you ready to help reshape the future of education, starting today?

Download Educating for Happiness now and begin your journey toward building schools where every child can flourish.
