FAQs
How much time do I need each week?
The Happiness Enhanced curriculum is designed to be completed in 45-60 minutes per week. That said, you're always welcome to invest more time into your personal growth and happiness development.
Is this therapy?
No, this is a skills based education and personal growth program grounded in Positive Psychology. A lot of our members and graduates say they find this approach more uplifting, practical, and future focused than therapy.
Can I cancel at anytime?
We don't believe in lock in contracts - in fact, we think that they're terrible for people's happiness. So if you ever feel that it's not in your best interest to continue your studies at BU Happiness College you can cancel at anytime.
Can I start on a lower enrolment, like happiness essentials and then upgrade later?
Yes, many of our members and graduates start with our most affordable option (Happiness Essentials) and then upgrade to Happiness Enhanced when they want more control of their learning journey.
why is happiness enhanced twice the price of happiness essentials?
Happiness Enhanced includes everything in Essentials, plus significantly greater flexibility and access. You’re not restricted to a set sequence; you can explore deeper tools, jump ahead, and shape your learning around what you need most. In short: Essentials = structure and foundations. Enhanced = autonomy, depth, and faster personal growth. Both options lead to meaningful growth. Enhanced simply offers more control and a broader learning experience for those who want it.
