TinyHappy with Tiny Habits: A Platform for Reflecting Happy Moments
Sustainable happiness in life is one of the most important societal themes deserving special attention. The pursuit of abundance extends beyond financial success, with equal significance placed on the small joys experienced in our daily lives. This paper demonstrates that a digital platform named TinyHappy can contribute to sustaining individual happiness by aiding in recollecting small joys and significant world events from the past. TinyHappy adopts the tiny habits approach, which centers around the concept that commencing with small, simple habits lays the foundation for progressing to more substantial changes and goals. The paper’s conclusions highlight the importance of consciously cultivating small habits of happiness in our day-to-day lives through three case studies.
