Welcome to The Happiness PhD Project
My name is Jackson Kerchis and I’m building my own Happiness PhD. This open-access digital network of notes and research exists as an “external brain” or “happiness encyclopedia”. It is based on the Zettelkestan. And is influenced by Andy Matuschak’s Note-writing System. You will find scientific research, references to religious and philosophical thought, and lessons from life experience. The goal is to create a networked encyclopedia of information to advance insights into happiness for one and for all.
Here is a short reference video on how to use this system.

You can jump in and follow trails of interlinked ideas. You can also use keywords and tags to search for specific topics and applications.
00 RESOURCES DIRECTORY is where you will find a list of in depth resources that do not fit within my standard notes structure.
Notes — Here you will find a living web of interconnected notes on tools, insights, and ideas. I suggest you start with The Learned Happiness Model (LHM)
The Learned Happiness Model (LHM)
The most important choice is the path of unconditional happiness.
1. Happiness is “life’s most important subject”.
2. An ability to control one’s behavior is foundational for happiness.
