happierPortland was formed to facilitate exploration of positive psychology — the science of happiness.

After more than a decade of rigorous scientific research, we know that happiness can be measured and we know that happiness can be taught. Increasing your happiness is possible through tools developed in the science of positive psychology.

The club is free to join and open to everyone with an interest in positive psychology, wellness, health, happiness, flourishing, positivity, therapy and self-improvement. happierPortland provides an opportunity to meet other enthusiasts and learn from the experts. Additionally, positive psychology practitioners, coaches, consultants, therapists and educators have an opportunity to network and exchange best-practices.

We meet in the Portland, Oregon area and our meetings will always be focused on the science of happiness and the practice of positive psychology.

This is a new group and our initial meetup features noted author and educator Robert Biswas-Diener.

    "Leave it to Portland to have a "Happiness Club", and who couldn't be happy in this marvelous city/ region. I was once asked, "who gives you the right to be so happy?" At the time I was eating a piece of cheesecake, so no words were spoken! LOL"
