The Design for Happiness Deck is a card-set that you can use to tap into the vast potential of lasting well-being. Based on the Positive Design framework developed by Pieter Desmet and Anna Pohlmeyer (2013, 2017), the three card sets explore three essential aspects of designing for happiness: Pleasure – happiness that comes from enjoying the moment Personal Significance – happiness derived from having a sense of progressing towards a future goal and from the awareness of past achievements Virtue – happiness that is the result of morally valued behaviour For each aspect, a fine-grained overview of 24 potential manifestations is provided – 24 shades of pleasure, 24 human goals and 24 virtuous character strengths, combining to a total set of 72 cards.
