Meet Our Founder

Kathryn Temple

Success & Happiness Psychologist Kath Temple founded The Happiness Foundation back in 2009. She is now our CEO … Chief Enthusiasm Officer J Kath is in her wisdom years, a grandmother now as well as a mother. She says ‘The world needs happier people! Happier people are kinder, more altruistic, more co-operative, fairer, less self-focused and more other focused, and they infect and affect others in a positive way.’

Here’s Kath’s TEDtv talk on The Great Wall of China in June 2012

‘Love & Kindness As The New Global Economy’

Who Are We?

The Happiness Foundation is a dynamic solutions-focused, responsive and innovative not-for-profit organization. We change futures for the greater good.

We develop and deliver inspirational programmes and 1-1 support to families, adults, children and young people in our local community to create healthier, wealthier, happier, more successful and more inclusive communities by raising your self-esteem, confidence and aspirations, igniting potential, shifting limiting beliefs, improving mental health, mental toughness, the ability to manage anger and feelings, manage stress, and relationships better, build resilience and increase positive lifestyle choices leading to better chances in life, and better life expectancy.

As well as promoting positive psychology we also tackle the challenges that get in the way of Happiness such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship breakdown, abuse, trauma, phobias.

We are a M.A.D organization …. We Make A Difference J

What Do We Do?

We coach and teach people how massively powerful the mind is, why we think and feel as we do, how we can change our minds, how we can shift beliefs, and shift results in life.

Leading Your Best Life

We teach personal leadership, personal responsibility and accountability, helping you create a coherent vision for your one wild and precious life, clarify your values, and action and walk those values into your life, your family, your workplace, and your community.

Your Brain Is Nature’s Pharmacy

We also teach about the natural pharmacy in your brain, and how your thinking switches on and off different brain juices (neuropeptides) and the effects of these on your physical strength, voice, energy, power, and health. We also teach you how changing your body language can change your thinking and your feelings.

Your Food Affects Your Mood

We build understandings of the natural pharmacy in the foods we eat and how different foods affect our mood, thoughts, energy, behaviour, health and longevity.

Positive Psychology & The Economy Of Happiness

We proactively promote the powerful impact of positive psychology and the economy of happiness – the links between Happiness, success, health and wellness, and longevity.

We Tackle The Challenges That Get In The Way of Happiness

We also tackle the life challenges and issues that get in the way of Happiness, such as depression and anxiety which account for 87% of all mental illness, self-harm, addiction, relationship breakdowns. We aim to put the smile back on people’s faces and positive energy back in their lives, creating brighter futures and healthier happier lives.

The first peace in the world is self-peace, and without peace of mind there is little Happiness.

Happiness Matters at Work & In Business

We also work with Businesses and look at Happiness At Work and it’s link with morale, co-operation collaboration and fairness, productivity and profitability.
