Why Happiness Is a Skill We Must Learn with Declan Edwards

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.
