Paths to Happiness

Florian Langenscheidt is not only a versatile and socially committed entrepreneur and publicist - his great-great-grandfather founded the world-renowned Langenscheidt publishing house in 1856 and Florian joined the management of the publishing house in 1985 - but also, and above all, a happiness researcher for over 40 years. He has already published 8 books on happiness and optimism and lectured on the subject at Harvard University.

Learn from him how to build a happiness framework for your life to find your own personal happiness. In his online course, Florian offers you a guide to living more in the here and now, feeling gratitude instead of envy, being more patient with yourself and others, and above all, how to get closer to the meaning of life. 

Furthermore, he deals with the much-asked question of whether money really makes you happy and gives you tools with which you can feel happiness in old age or in any phase of life. 

According to Florian, many influencing factors are important for personal happiness. In particular, there are 4 parameters that many people believe are crucial. These are put to the test in the online course and are subjected to a happiness test together with you. 

In another lesson you will find inspiring stories of extraordinary people who have found their way back into life after strokes of fate and are sometimes happier than before.

As founder of the Institute for Applied Happiness Research, Florian Langenscheidt sees optimism as the most important renewable energy and stands out as an ambassador of hope and confidence in difficult times. 

His message: Happiness is a choice and each of us can make it.
