Launched in October 2013, Live Happy is a US-based website and monthly lifestyle magazine which claims to be the first in the world entirely devoted to the pursuit of happiness. The approach of co-founder and editorial director Deborah K Heisz is to weave the science of positive psychology through inspiring features, relatable stories, and sage advice.
Stories often feature people overcoming real-life obstacles, conquering everyday fears, or finding joy even in tragedies. Such pieces should be emotionally engaging and inspirational. The magazine also reports on innovative, cutting-edge research in the context of happiness. For example, one recent article explored new discoveries about the gene-level impact of positive emotions. Other features cover relationships between health, or economics and happiness.
