Welcome To

The School Of

Happiness

Bringing positivity, playfulness, and happiness to your life.

Why a school of happiness?

Schools started as a way to transfer knowledge, skills, values, and traditions from one generation to another. However, over time, we somehow forgot the value of leisure, playfulness, and creativity. That’s when our school structure became rigid and regimented, valuing grades over compassion and competition over collaboration. This pushed us to suppress our feelings and emotions out of fear of judgment and a desire to fit in.

We all learned how to read and write, and studied many subjects but no one taught us how to deal with the emotions that we encounter in life.

“Happiness is a skill…
The more we practice, the better we get.”

Just like we learned how to read, write, spell, multiply and draw… we need to learn how to engage with our emotions and practice being happy.

What you can expect from our progressive curriculum

We all learnt to read and write, studied mathematics, science, history, economics, biology and various other subjects but no one taught us how to deal with rejection, insecurity, failure, fear, anger, sadness, jealousy or grief? We were made to believe that these emotions are a natural part of life and we need to ‘deal’ with them.  This is not true. Just like we learnt how to read, write, spell, multiply and draw we need to learn how to engage with our emotions and practice being happy.

Through our progressive curriculum

If any of the above resonates with you, please contact us and allow us to be your companions towards a happier life.

What my clients

Say About Me

  • The feedback from the team was overwhelmingly positive – your session was a huge hit, with some Googlers saying it was the best offsite that they’d ever attended! Both the theory and the group activities resonated well with a predominantly millennial audience. The only complaint was that they wished that they had more time for the session!

  • Shveita is an infectious human being full of heart and soul. She can infect you with happiness and positivity. I have known her for over 10 years. Even though I do not speak to her often, even when I do after months, I feel a sense of positivity and hope. There are some friends who are for life, who see you through many phases of life. They are your anchors that you can come back to when you need perspective. Shveita has played that role for me without much effort or fanfare…

Our

Story

One evening, I attended a talk titled ‘The cult of Luxury Brands’ by the author Radha Chaddha. After her presentation, we started chatting about luxury goods and how we think that owning a brand will fulfill our basic need for happiness. The conversation steered towards happiness being the biggest luxury. Often, the purpose of achieving financial success is to attain happiness and yet our pursuit of wealth steers us away from what we are seeking. Then Radha, in jest, said that I should start thinking of selling “Happiness in a bottle”!

The next morning I was invited to a breakfast meeting at a fancy club in Hong Kong. Each person there had a business card with a fancy title implying importance and a following. Yet there I was, with no title and no business card. When I introduced myself as Shveitta, they looked at me with an expectant look.

Some could not hold back and asked me what I did for a living… in jest, I said “I’m searching for the elixir of happiness and when I find it, I intend to bottle it and sell it”. I was amazed at the kind of response I received to this statement. It was intended as a joke and yet it opened such a Pandora’s Box of dissatisfaction and problems. The number of business cards I got that day was overwhelming, as my bottled happiness formula seemed to be in great demand. Everyone wanted me to share with them the elixir of happiness.

From that day, my research into happiness took a whole new meaning. People, places, books, and events, all started lining up and pointing me towards the pursuit and understanding of happiness. Over a decade of learning from various masters and teachers, experimenting, teaching, and sharing my knowledge culminated in the creation of the ‘School of Happiness’.

"Some could not hold back and asked me what I did for a living..."

In jest I said “I am searching for the elixir of happiness and eventually I intend to bottle it and sell it”. I was amazed at the kind of response I received to this statement, it was a statement made in jest and I didn’t realize that I was opening such a Pandora’s Box of unfulfilled dreams, financial and emotional setbacks, heart breaks, poor body image, loveless marriages and the works.  The number of name cards I got that day was overwhelming. My bottled happiness formula seemed to be in great demand. Everyone wanted me to share with them the elixir of happiness.  

From that day forward, my research into happiness took a whole new meaning.  People, places, books, events, all started lining up and  pointing me towards the  pursuit and  understanding of happiness.

Over a decade of learning from various masters and teachers, experimenting with myself and those around me, teaching, sharing and consolidating culminated in the creation of ‘School of Happiness’
