Happiness is not a one-size-fits-all formula, and in this talk, Dr Gillian Mandich integrates her own happiness research and key information to share two of the most impactful things she has learned that can help you to be happier.

In this talk, you will learn why there is no one thing that is going to make you happier. You can understand why happiness is not a destination, but a product of a well-lived life, and how, regardless of how you are feeling right now, you have the power to be happier.

Dr Gillian Mandich has a PhD from Western University in Health Science, and her primary areas of research are happiness and health. She is the founder of the International Happiness Institute of Health Science Research, a top-rated keynote and TEDx speaker, and she appears as the resident Happiness Expert on the Social and Breakfast Television and writes for numerous print and online media.

A study using music to influence mood shows that a supportive environment, coupled with a desire to be happy, boosts happiness.

Your environment shapes your happiness: mindful choices in what you consume and who you interact with can elevate your well-being.
