An Evening with Yana Darom

Happiness is not a luxury; it can be learned at any age, and yes, it predicts success and is directly connected to our personal and organizational resilience. In an energetic lecture where you will not know whether to laugh or cry first, Yana shares stories from life that make you shift in your seat and feel that life is happening here and now—and that the choice is ours alone.

In an hour that passes far too quickly, Yana strengthens employees’ and managers’ ability to cope with personal, family, and professional challenges. In the lecture, Yana introduces a new term that has recently emerged in happiness research—the distress coefficient—which has been found to predict success in coping effectively with situations of uncertainty, and shows how it can be leveraged to our advantage.

In a relaxed encounter, Yana manages to win over even the last of the cynics and complainers (or, as Yana calls them, the remnants of bitterness). With honesty and humor, step by step, she builds the path to choosing a happy life—even when reality is falling apart—and shows how hot sand, ten fingers, and a cup of coffee can create a revolution of joy.
