COSTA MESA, Calif., March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Completing a 30-day challenge based on the neuroscience of happiness can make people 30 percent happier. Those are the findings after over 32,000 people signed up for psychiatrist and brain health expert Daniel G. Amen, MD's online 30-Day Happiness Challenge in 2021. The challenge proved so successful, it has now been made permanently available as a course on Amen University. And it is filling a nationwide need.

A happiness boost is needed now more than ever. The world is in turmoil and Americans are the unhappiest they've been in 50 years. As a nation, people feeling so stressed and unhappy, it's sparked a dramatic rise in the number of new prescriptions for antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and sleep aids. Depression, the opposite of being happy, tripled in early 2020, from 8.5 percent, which was already at record highs, to a horrifying 27.8 percent just a few months later.

"This new online course allows people to increase their happiness any time they need it," says Dr. Amen, founder of Amen Clinics and Amen University and author of You, Happier: The Neuroscience of Feeling Good Based on Your Brain Type.

Over the past 30-plus years, Dr. Amen's brain imaging work and clinical practice at Amen Clinics has led to the discovery of seven foundational neuroscience secrets to happiness. For example, happiness depends on your brain type, meaning that what makes one person happy may make someone else unhappy.

In the 30-Day Happiness Challenge, people discover their own brain type and find out what makes them uniquely happy. They also learn strategies specific to their brain type to enhance overall brain health and emotional wellness. People who have completed the challenge say they experience greater happiness, brighter moods, more energy, less stress, a greater sense of calm, less physical pain, better sleep, and more. As we begin to emerge from the pandemic, this will help hit the reset button for a more hopeful, happier life.
