Busy people tend to be happier than the ones with no work.

Practicing happiness

  • Learn how to be in the present moment and let yourself enjoy the things you enjoy doing

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
