Dr Tim Sharp

Have you ever been asked – what makes you happy?

Well for me, pottering around in my veggie garden is right up there. However we are all different. For you it might be spending time bush walking. Or Catching up with friends? Or curling up with a good book?

There are so many things that can make us happy but, why do many of us struggle to actually be happy or maintain our happiness?

Dr Tim Sharp is Australia’s very own ‘Dr Happy’. Founder of the Happiness Institute he is a passionate psychologist who has devoted his life to enhancing happiness in individuals, families and organisations.
