The Happiness Challenge

197 episodes - English - Latest episode: 6 days ago -

Hello happiness seekers! I’m Klaudia Mitura and I’m on a mission to explore the best
happiness habits that science has to offer.

Like so many others, the pandemic cut me off from family and work – so I decided to use my training as a Psychologist to discover what science can tell us about the art of happiness.

What I found set me on a path to joy – and now I’m ready to share my journey with you! Each month I’ll be publishing three linked episodes where I’ll be speaking to a leading expert, putting their tips to the test and sharing my findings (and feelings).

From mindfulness to exercise and random acts of kindness, I’ll be shining a light on the
simple happiness habits that can bring more joy to our lives.

So join me as I embark on my challenge and together we can become more successful,
resilient – and happy!

Klaudia Mitura is the Learning and Development Manager at the Science Museum Group.
