The A-B-C of happiness coaching

Speaker at Addiction Medicine, Behavioral Health and Psychiatry 2025 - Alphonsus Obayuwana
Triple-H Project LLC, United States
Title : The A-B-C of happiness coaching

Abstract:

As a behavior, ADDICTION is essentially the pursuit of HAPPINESS gone awry. Consequently, happiness coaching is a skill that every addiction therapist needs—in addition to whatever other treatment modalities are employed.

The science and the art of happiness coaching are best explained and precisely summarized by the equation: H1 / H2 = H3  where H1 is HOPE; H2 is HUNGER, and His HAPPINESS.  This equation, the culmination of a three-decade of research, is dubbed the Triple-H Equation.   It presents the theory, explains the science, and illustrates the role of a happiness coach.

During this presentation (or workshop), the Triple-H Equation will be deconstructed and all participants will learn why, when, where, and how to provide happiness coaching
