Chandigarh, November 1, 2025: Panjab University today hosted an insightful Happiness Workshop led by Dr. Rajesh K. Pillania, India’s leading researcher on happiness and author of 12 books and reports on Happiness. Speaking on “Reflections on Daily Life,” Dr. Pillania emphasised that happiness is not accidental as it requires conscious effort, consistency, and self-awareness.
Participating in the PU’s 6th Global Alumni Meet, PU Alumnus Dr. Pillania identified three essential needs for a fulfilling life with good health, meaningful work, and strong relationships and highlighted that happiness directly enhances productivity, creativity, and longevity. Urging participants to “be happy first and work hard later,” he shared that happiness leads to better performance, not the other way around.
Dr. Pillania encouraged adopting small daily habits of celebrating life, exercising, nurturing relationships, keeping humour alive, letting go of regret, setting achievable goals, and strengthening belief systems. He concluded with a powerful reminder: “My happiness, my responsibility."
