Quality of Life

WHAT MATTERS

We bring people practical guidance on how to work on their well-being. There is a whole part with ideas and helpful tips on how to improve our quality of life. Happiness is contagious, and when we increase our well-being,  we can also inspire others around us.  Our mission is to seed happiness and harvest even more happiness.

SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS

The concept of personal well-being is a holistic scientific field that consists of specific perspectives on quality of life. This concept includes social connections, spiritual participation, meaningful activities, genetic predispositions, and many other circumstances that can influence our well-being. We are bringing all topics which can play a role in our feeling of happiness in their theoretical scientific context.

OUR PROJECTS

Apart our research projects, that are supposed to extend our knowledge about well-being, we also participate in projects which focus on improving quality of life in certain groups of people or bring inspiration for practical positive changes in reality around us.

Our mission

High quality of life is a determining factor for non-problematic society and a low level of criminal deeds. Frustrated, anxious or somehow unhappy people bring tension to our society or create problems in the community where they live. If the community wants to prevent bad things from happening, it should care about people’s well-being, but it is a complicated task. The personal reality of every single individual is quite complex, and it is being affected by the social environment by all means. Our goal is to explore this topic from more different perspectives.

Too complicated world

Achieving a big picture

The complexity of our social environment prevents us from easy understanding our reality and develops feelings of insecurity and confusion. We can provide, and we do, a simple guide with some tips & tricks on how to increase our well-being on our own, by simple mental exercises, or to change our habits. That is how we can adjust our approach, which became quite popular, but this is only a part of the whole mosaic. The other part of our well-being is our real-life conditions, and we can change some of them but not in all cases. It depends on our situation. We review the results of existing scientific literature and create this bigger picture of the whole area of quality of life. We can not expect that we will ever get answers to every question, and we will be able to describe our whole social reality in all details. But we summarize the findings of previously done research which can help decide which changes in our lives are worthy and for whom.
