Welcome to the CALM Website, Computer Assisted Learning for the Mind.

All of us want to have a happy life. No one wakes up in the morning thinking "I hope I will be miserable today". Many of us think that happiness is dependent on external situations like possessions, status and pleasures. Though these things can be good, often the satisfaction they bring is short term.

Scientific studies on what makes people truly and genuinely happy show the importance of four main things:

  1. Mental resilience
  2. Managing stress, anxiety and depression
  3. Healthy relationships
  4. Finding meaning in life

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the content of at least the first two tabs below. Either click each tab individually, or use the NEXT TAB link:
