Digital Happy Hour: «Being happy in times of Corona» with Angelika von der Assen

Does the Corona pandemic also sometimes cause you worries and annoyances? In this digital happy hour, you can find out how to deal with it better. SRF presenter Monika Schärer talked to Angelika von der Assen, organisational psychologist and mindfulness trainer.

From many years of experience, Angelika von der Assen is convinced that happiness is a skill that can be trained. She presents findings from brain research, but also gives very concrete tips for dealing with difficult feelings in everyday life.

The first part of the talk was about how everyone can help themselves (letting go and gratitude, resilience, mindfulness). The second part showed how we can help others and make them happy (compassion, helpfulness, giving). And why we ourselves become happier and feel the so-called 'warm glow'.

The event was held in German.
