ABOUT ACTION FOR HAPPINESS
We all want to live happy and fulfilling lives and we want the people we love to be happy too. So happiness matters to all of us.
Happiness is about our lives as a whole: it includes the fluctuating feelings we experience everyday but also our overall satisfaction with life. It is influenced by our genes, upbringing and our external circumstances - such as our health, our work and our financial situation. But crucially it is also heavily influenced by our choices - our inner attitudes, how we approach our relationships, our personal values and our sense of purpose.
Action for Happiness works to support evidence based practices and theories that support well being. Local group website: www.actionforhappinessbrighton.org.uk.

'Happy Cafe' at The Walrus.
The Walrus, 10 Ship Street, Brighton, GBWhen you first arrive ask behind the bar where Action for Happiness (Happy Cafe) is meeting. We meet upstairs at the Walrus, so we have our own space. Ask at the bar when you arrive and they can direct you up. Please arrive by 17.00.
There are games but they are not intimidating, mainly conversation starters. Do give it a try.
We would like you to feel happier at the end than when you arrived.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
