BOOK 2 – THE EXPANSION
HAPPINESS AND MENTAL HEALTH COLLECTION
One book began the dialogue.
New voices expand the conversation.
The movement continues.
The voices. The practices. The possible paths.
Caring for mental health is not the opposite of seeking happiness — it is the path that makes it possible.
HAPPINESS AND MENTAL HEALTH: A NEW CULTURE IN THE WORKPLACE
Amid social and emotional transformations that are redefining the way we live and work, the need for organizational environments that welcome, inspire, and promote genuine well-being continues to grow. This book, the first in the Happiness Collection, emerges precisely at this turning point: as a contemporary, thoughtful, and evidence-based guide dedicated to those who wish to build healthier, more productive, and deeply human-centered cultures.
Conceived and curated by Claudia Cardillo, with joint coordination by Luciana Tierno and Chirles de Oliveira, the work brings together leading voices from both national and international contexts. It features a foreword by Mr. Thakur S. Powdyel, Former Minister of Education of Bhutan and specialist in Gross National Happiness; Luis Gallardo, founder of the World Happiness Foundation and author of Happytalism; and Álvaro Fernando, internationally awarded entrepreneur and musician, author of Be the Protagonist.
With chapters written by 31 specialists in positive psychology, workplace happiness, human development, people management, education, and the sciences of well-living, the book offers reflections and methodologies that can be applied to both professional and personal life.
An opportunity to rethink routines, relationships, and choices toward a lighter, more conscious, and meaningful life.
