Happiness Challenge - Part 1: Can we learn to be happier?

In January 2011, Action for Happiness partnered with the BBC to run a week-long "Happiness Challenge". In Part 1 the Happiness Challenge is introduced and we meet some of the participants for the first time.

We brought together an interesting mix of unsuspecting volunteers in Scarborough - including a bin man, butcher, artist, belly dancer, shop worker, marine biologist and retired couple.

We asked them to try out a few simple daily actions that could potentially increase their happiness, based on findings from the latest scientific research. To download the Happiness Challenge workbook go to www.actionforhappiness/happiness-challenge

This piece was first broadcast on BBC Breakfast on 24 January 2011.
