Why Happiness Is a Skill We Must Learn with Declan Edwards

Why Happiness Is a Skill We Must Learn

In a world where stress, worry, and burnout are rising, how can we learn to
create genuine happiness not just fleeting moments of joy, but a sustainable
way of living and working? In this inspiring conversation, @Declan
Edwards joins
Cuppa.tv to explore why happiness is both a science and a
skillset, and why it has never been more important for individuals, teams, and
communities to actively practise it.

With Australia experiencing a decade-long decline in the World Happiness Index
and ranking among the most stressed countries globally, Declan shares
practical, research-backed insights into what happiness really means and how
we can cultivate it in everyday life. Drawing on his Master’s degree in
Positive Psychology and experience speaking with organisations including the
United Nations General Assembly, TEDx, the Red Cross, and PwC, Declan unpacks
the habits, mindsets, and behaviours that can help people thrive even in
challenging times.

Together, we explore the most common mistakes people make when chasing
happiness, the difference between temporary pleasure and lasting wellbeing,
and simple yet powerful practices that can create meaningful change at work
and at home.

This conversation is especially valuable for people and culture leaders, teams
navigating pressure and change, and anyone wanting to expand their wellbeing
and resilience. Through honest conversation and practical wisdom, this episode
reflects Cuppa.tv’s broader mission of creating impact
through conversations that inspire healthier, more connected, and more human-
centred lives.
