Meet Isabelle, Sebastian and Zhiying!

Nordic happiness is a topic which has been featured in worldwide surveys and explored in documentaries. Intrigued by this concept, Isabelle and Zhiying responded to the shoutout by Happiness Initiative to make a new friend.

Sebastian was happy to share his know-how about Denmark and at the same time, learn about Singaporean lifestyle and culture. This Tumblr site is a culmination of their group discussion and sharing.

The Paradox of Altruism. How does being more focus

The Paradox of Altruism. How does being more focused on others bring greater happiness to both those around us AND ourselves?

With the help of @ricechanneltv , here's a summary of what we covered in the last chapter of our well-being series earlier this year, organised in partnership with @nycsg

This video will give you a speedrun of what it means to be altruistic, the benefits of altruism and how you can give without burning yourself out!

And in the spirit of other-centeredness, feel free to share this with anyone who might be needing it.

Get to know the WhatsApp Autism Community Singapor

Get to know the WhatsApp Autism Community Singapore - Singapore’s largest public network of WhatsApp chat groups for the autism community!

Co-founded in 2018 by two Singaporean autistic autism advocates, Eric Chen and Wesley Loh, WACS is run by Neurodivergent people (including autistics) to bring the Singapore autism community together.

They champion Inclusive Equality where all stakeholders work as equal partners to co-create solutions and develop competent community leaders. They hope that this empowers autistics to evolve from a dependent to an interdependent relationship with non-autistic people.

To stay updated on upcoming events, join the WACS announcement groups!

We're sure many of you have heard of Twitter (check out our Twitter account @happinesswahaha!)

For those who don't, it's a service for people to find out what’s happening in the world and what people are talking about right now.

Their philanthropic mission is to strengthen communities through the positive power of their platform, people and profits.

Twitter also conducts capability training sessions for Singapore social impact stakeholders. These sessions are aimed at helping the stakeholders use Twitter to effectively engage, advocate and join in cause-awareness campaigns and conversations with others.
