About Us
A seed was planted when Dr. Aymee Coget and Sandi Smith first met at a happiness conference in November 2008. In their first phone call, they both shared their vision of conceiving an organization to help people be happier, even down to the acronym of AHA. Dr. Coget brought her long-time mentor, Bob Nozik, MD, in on the conversation, and a few meetings later, the American Happiness Association was officially born on February 18, 2009 as a California nonprofit corporation. All three of us saw the challenge: so much amazing happiness research that never got out to the public with the exception of the periodic news story that may or may not be all that accurate. Some of the happiness researchers collaborate with others, but there has been no centralized place for all this wonderful life-changing science-based happiness information. Until now! AHA brings together hundreds of researchers results and translates it into tools you can use every day to make your life better. Each original founder provides unique and complementary skills to the American Happiness Association. Dr. Coget brings her education in positive psychology, her connections with other happiness experts in the field, and her experience in transforming individuals through her Happiness Makeovers. Ms. Smith, a CPA and MBA, offers her business development skills, an education in neuroscience and positive psychology, and her own happiness coaching and training programs. Dr. Nozik imparts his medical experience as a physician who has treated patients, and a researcher, where he has authored numerous medical textbooks and teaches university courses. The most important thing about all three founders is that not only are they happiness experts academically, they are all truly, deeply happy people. Read the full board biographies here.
