Active joy: Where movement
meets happiness
Happiness is not passive. The path towards becoming a happier and more compassionate human being is when you actively invest time into being more happy. But happiness is simultaneously subjective. On the other hand, when you invest time in it, even as much as 45 minutes a day, you will be astonished by the results you see. It takes time, but it doesn’t have to be overly time-consuming. And now you are not alone, you can do it together with us!
21 days of challenges!
We will challenge our physical, mental, and social health in less than 45 minutes every day. These challenges fall under three pillars: physical, mental and social. Taking care of these three areas will help every single person to become a happier and more compassionate human being. No matter who you are or where you come from. Join our Happy Nation!

Adapting a positive mindset is hard. But trainable. It is the an effective way to feel more fulfilled.

Kindness to others, but also ourselves, is the currency of happiness.

Taking care of our bodies builds our confidence and makes us feel energized.


Our founders
In the energetic setting of a Berlin Hot Yoga Studio in 2010, two resilient optimists, each on their individual paths toward well-being, met. Fueled by their curiosity, relentless hunger for personal growth, and a shared aspiration to cultivate happiness and better health, decide to help others do the same. This has grown into the big vision that is Happy Nation.
FAQs
Like the Olympics, but for everyone! The Happy Nation Games is a 21-day challenge where we take care of our physical, mental and social well-being in less than 30 minutes a day. Taking care of these areas will help everyone to become a happier and more compassionate human being. And better yet, everybody can participate, and win prizes!
It’s like the Olympic Games but for holistic wellbeing where everyone can take part. When we say holistic, we mean that we put effort into our physical, mental, and social well-being, equally. In the Games, participants will alternate daily between short full-body workouts and stretching. These will take about 25 minutes a day. For 3 minutes a day, participants will engage in a gratitude exercise. Every day, the app provides a different topic. And, lastly, participants will receive a prompt for a daily act of kindness.
Taking part is as convenient as it gets. We built a web-based app, which can be accessed with an URL. This can then be saved to the home screen of your smartphone, so you can always easily access it anytime. Also, you always see the challenges according to your time-zone. That means, depending on the time, someone in Hawaii could still be one day behind another person opening the app in Europe. The only thing you have to think about is opening the app every day to see the daily challenges.
It’s easy – to be eligible to win a daily prize, all you need to do is complete the three challenges of the day and film yourself doing the physical one! Don’t worry, you don’t have to show your face but we will need to see proof that you finished it. You will be asked to upload it on Instagram with the hashtag #HappyNationGames. If you are not into filming yourself and posting the video, don’t worry. You can also win badges and medals without having to share on social media.
Yes, it is completely free to participate, and for everyone. We want to encourage our participants to become happier, healthier and more compassionate human beings. We will challenge our physical, mental, and social health in less than 45 minutes every day. We want to bring people together in doing so. No matter who you are, or where you come from!
