Former Meru governor Kiraitu Murungi joined in celebrations of educational success as a graduate on the same day the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education national examinations were issued and students went about finding out their results. “I am now fully prepared to lead my motherland’s happiness revolution,” remarked Honorable Murungi.
He graduated on November 7, 2023, but declared today that he had completed a Happiness Studies Academy course and facilitated happiness. Students will learn 62 fundamental competencies as well as 117 resource-building tools in this course.
Kenyans reacted differently to the news, as illustrated below:
On November 23, 2023, he declared that he had graduated from a happiness course and was now a trained facilitator.
Congratulations. Similar research interests me as well. “I wish you could start it in our beloved country,” Kirema Mburugu added.
“I had no idea happiness could be examined. “Congratulations, sir,” James Kariuki added.”I had no idea there was such a thing as happiness training.” I used to believe that happiness was a choice. Anyway, congratulations, veteran,” Beatrice Karimi remarked.
“I used to believe that happiness is an inherent sensation when everything goes smoothly. I never imagined it could be shoved in through a study. I am well-educated. “Congratulations to our former governor,” Enoti Charles stated.
“I’m astounded!! “What were you learning about happiness and how bitter you are with Governor Kawira Mwangaza (current Meru Governor),” Elijah Kaseuseu commented.
“My mentor, congratulations. “Your happiness is my happiness, and our happiness is your Excellency’s,” Mike added.
“Positive psychology expert” Dr Tal Ben-Shahar founded the Happiness Studies Academy. The organization’s goal is to “lead the happiness revolution, by educating leaders who are themselves dedicated to personal, interpersonal, and communal flourishing.” This mission is approached by the institution in two ways: by defining happiness and by teaching it.
The Certificate course is taught over a 12-month period using spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, and relational elements (SPIRE).It is not sufficient to investigate each of the SPIRE parts through the lens of a single field, such as psychology or philosophy, in order to better comprehend, pursue, and realize complete being. Instead, we must use an interdisciplinary approach, consulting psychology and philosophy as well as literature, history, economics, theology, biology, and other disciplines.
