The Happiness Training Plan is an audio programme designed to have an anti-depressant effect. It’s full of simple, practical steps to greater happiness. The twelve strategies are all based on positive psychology, the science of happiness. Each track offers a practical lesson in mood improvement with the assurance that every strategy is supported by scientific evidence.
Self-help Audiobook
The audiobook creators based the strategies on their professional expertise and personal experience. Miriam Akhtar was one of the first handful of qualified positive psychologists in Europe and Dr Chris Johnstone is a medical doctor who pioneered the application of positive psychology in the NHS. As well as the science, the 12 strategies are also based on their own personal experiences of recovering from depression. The audiobook was launched at the 2008 University of Bristol Happiness Lectures and is available through this website.
