I’m Klaudia Mitura, and I’m on a mission to explore the best happiness habits that science has to offer. Like so many others, the pandemic cut me off from family and work — so I decided to use my training as a psychologist to discover what science can tell us about the art of happiness. What I found set me on a path to joy — and now I’m sharing my journey with you. Each month I publish linked episodes where I speak to a leading expert, put their tips to the test, and share my findings (and feelings). From mindfulness to exercise and random acts of kindness, I’ll be shining a light on the simple happiness habits that can bring more joy to our lives. So join me as I embark on this challenge — and together we can become more successful, resilient, and happy. Klaudia is a work psychologist, Chief Happiness Officer, and the Learning and Development Manager at the Science Museum Group in the UK. In September 2025 she published The Alphabet of Happiness — available to order now: https://mybook.to/AlphabetofHappiness Check out Klaudia’s website for more information and downloadable resources: https://thehappinesschallenge.co.uk/","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T16:18:20.923113+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiness-challenge-155552"},"episode":{"title":"#206 What does science say about self-belief?","slug":"206-what-does-science-say-about-self-belief","published_at":"2025-12-11T06:11:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiness-challenge-155552/206-what-does-science-say-about-self-belief","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiness-challenge-155552","url":"https://thehappinesschallenge.co.uk/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/058d536e-cfc0-48dc-9fcd-3f1266b2f7de.mp3","summary":"What does science really say about self-belief?
