Before you spend too much money on home decor, learn what truly makes people happy at home based in the latest science so you can make the right decisions for yourself.

In this class, we will talk about one study with 13.000 participants breaking down the five emotions people need to feel in order to feel truly happy at home. These are:

1. Safety - the most basic feeling one needs to feel in a home. We feel truly safe when neither the outside world nor the home itself provides a danger for us. Additionally, privacy is also one aspect of safety that needs to exist in order to make us feel truly safe.

2. Comfort - where we discuss the items that give a sense of comfort, like personal tools and items but also low noise levels and balanced temperature.

3. Control is the need to change and modify to adapt to the environment around us in a way that suits our ever-changing lives. The more control we feel we have over our space, the happier we feel.

4. Identity - the feeling we have when our environment reflects our style and personality. When the items around us are imbued with stories and values that are personal to us, we feel we identify with the home.

5. Pride - is one of the most important feelings, and it is connected to our sense of achievement. Whether we own a home or are engaged in home improvements, our feeling of pride will receive a significant boost.

Who is the class for?

The class is for anyone looking to understand better the science of happiness and what truly makes us happy with our home.

The class is based on "The Good Home" report.
