Welcome to
Happiness University
Beatus Est Potentia
Happiness is Power
Because happiness isn’t a mystery—it’s a skill.
What if happiness weren’t some elusive, mysterious thing? What if it were something you could learn—just like math, music, or sports? At Happiness University, we don’t just help you survive; we help you thrive. By focusing on intentionality, not avoidance, we teach you the actionable skills you need to create a life that isn’t just coping — it’s thriving.
ER
Happy can be a scary word.
Because there’s no official definition of it.
Everyone’s got their own version of what it means to be happy.
Philosophers, poets, and alt-rockers have been trying to figure it out for centuries, and they still haven’t nailed it down.
So how are you supposed to?
That’s why at Happiness University, we don’t focus on “Happy”
-
We focus on ER.
Think about it:
What does it mean to be fit?
Is it running a marathon? Having abs? Doing CrossFit till you puke?
Who knows.
But everybody wants to be fittER.
Same with smart.
What’s smart? A 1600 SAT? Fluency in five languages? Beating your cousin at bar trivia?
Doesn’t matter.
We all want to be smartER.
So forget chasing some perfect, philosophical version of happiness.
Our job here is simple:
We’re here to help you get happiER.
Day by day.
Point by point.
One doable action at a time.
Meet the Dean of Dopamine
He’s not a Harvard professor. He’s not a life coach.
He’s just a guy who’s been through some hell and came out happy.
And he can show you how to get there, too.
Happiness Habits
Tiny actions. Real impact. No inner child required.
The Habit Library is full of science-backed, attitude-approved, do-right-now actions that make your brain feel better.
No journals, no chants, just small actions, real results, and momentum.
Pick Your Flavor of HappiER
Daily Joy — Tiny resets for when your brain feels like a car alarm.
Level 1: Quick Wins — Small stuff, instant payoff.
Level 2: Momentum Builders — Actions that get you unstuck.
Level 3: Life-Changers — The heavy hitters.
On That Grindset — Productivity flexes that feel good to finish.
Why This Works
This isn’t self-help. This is self-strategy.
Happiness University runs on a simple idea: small wins, stacked daily, change lives.
Every habit you try triggers some kind of brain juice—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins.
We’re basically your back-alley joy dealers. We got that good sh**. Just hit us on our pager.
That One Weird Trick Doctors Hate: Giving a Damn
When I was a screw-up teenager with zero self-esteem and sadder than John Wick’s puppy dying, I just wanted to get out of my own head, so I started volunteering.
Why? Because helping other people made me feel less like trash.
Volunteering isn’t noble — it’s selfish.
It’s a happiness cheat code. And I want you to steal it.
It will make you feel better about yourself and the world.
Start small: hold a door, carry groceries, mow a lawn, pick up litter on your street.
Do something kind and—Spladow!—you just made the world a little better.

Or go bigger with some of my faves:
What we are
We’re the friend who checks in.
We’re the system that makes happiness feel doable.
We’re the reminder you didn’t know you needed.
We’re built by real people who’ve been through real things.
What we are not
We’re not therapists.
We’re not a toxic positivity cult.
We’re not telling you to meditate for 47 minutes or manifest a Tesla.
We’re not here to fix you. You’re not broken.
Happiness is a skill. Let's get you good at it.
No gurus. No guilt. Just guidance—and a system that actually works.
Bestie-Monials
“Ted! I’m so blessed to have you as a mentor and as a friend!!”
“YOU are a gift to me and so many others, and I'm so GRATEFUL to have another year of you!”
“It’s just hard feeling so sorry for everyone else who doesn’t have you as a mentor.”
“This was the first time in months I felt like someone actually heard me.”
“Ted, you’re the most handsome man alive. You make Henry Cavill look like Carrot Top.”
(Okay, nobody said that last one, you got me. What’s with the third degree, anyway? What are you, a COP?)
