Abstract

Human beings are curious, intrinsically motivated and often look for sensations based on goals and plans to overcome the difficulties and challenges that arise towards happiness, wellbeing, and personal growth. The present study aims to understand the usefulness and practicality of a therapeutic notepad, which is composed of inspiring quotes and tasks underlying happiness and well-being. 111 young people and adults, aged between 18 and 58 years (M= 21.81; SD= 5.34) participated in this study, being 47.3% male individuals and 52.7% female individuals. First, a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied to collect personal data; then was administered the Psychological Well-Being Manifestations Scale (Échelle de Mesure des Manifestations du Bien-Être Psychologique) which translates into a response instrument five-point likert type with five subscales including happiness. Finally, a semistructured interview was applied to understand the functionality of the therapeutic agenda. The results showed, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that the notepad can be assumed as an agent that promotes happiness and well-being as well as reducing the negative mood of individuals. This study focuses on the importance of well-being and happiness in the daily lives of individuals. This is an important contribution, as it allows to gauge that the notepad leads to positive and motivating results when applied.
