If you can measure it, you can improve it

— Lord Kelvin, Peter Drucker

As a founder of Happierz, I am passionate about integrating technological and scientific insights with practical tools to empower individuals, practitioners, organizations, and communities on their journey toward wholebeing.

With a medical sociology and education background and a Happiness Studies Academy certificate, I have dedicated my work to exploring the science of happiness and personal development. Through Happierz, we aim to provide a holistic, evidence-based online platform to encourage and support sustainable overall wellbeing and meaningful self-growth.

Happiness is not something to be chased. Instead, it is cultivated through intentional actions and mindset growth. Happierz is designed to make this process accessible, insightful, practical, and transformative.

Scientific Background

The Science Behind The SPIRE Scale

The SPIRE Scale represents a groundbreaking approach to measuring and enhancing wholebeing, developed through ongoing research and collaboration with leading international scholars in positive psychology and the science of happiness.

In partnership with Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar—an internationally renowned teacher, author, and co-founder of the Happiness Studies Academy (HSA)—we have created a scientifically grounded tool to support personal development and holistic wellbeing.

At the heart of the SPIRE Scale is the concept of wholebeing.

In his book Happiness Studies (2021), Dr. Ben-Shahar defines happiness as wholeperson wellbeing - or wholebeing.

The SPIRE model defines wholebeing through five interconnected elements:

Spiritual wellbeing

Finding purpose and meaning in life and elevating ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones through mindful presence.

Physical wellbeing

Satisfying our needs for physical exercise, specific nutrients, sleep, and touch to fulfill our potential for wholebeing.

Intellectual wellbeing

Cultivating curiosity, openness, and deep engagement in learning as the foundation of intellectual wellbeing.

Relational wellbeing

Building and maintaining healthy relationships with ourselves and others as the core of a fulfilling life.

Emotional wellbeing

Understanding that emotions inform our thoughts and actions and are influenced by them. Emotional wellbeing depends on our ability to cultivate pleasurable emotions and cope with painful ones.

The SPIRE Scale - From Theory to Practice

Guided by the multidimensional and holistic SPIRE model, the SPIRE Scale empowers individuals, organizations, and communities to initiate, evaluate, and sustain their personal development and wholebeing.

The SPIRE Scale consists of 12 carefully designed statements that assess the presence and extent of the five SPIRE elements. The insights from the SPIRE Scale provide a detailed view of one's overall wellbeing and offer a practical foundation for personal growth and development.

Using the SPIRE Scale, individuals can reflect on their unique journey, uncover growth opportunities, and take actionable steps to enhance their daily wholebeing.
