PRESS RELEASE
Finland Calling: Australia, Take the Time to Celebrate your Joys
Finland-based The Art and Science of Joy launches its year of joy this week, highlighting the joy-superpower of optimism in partnership with the Australian-based Centre for Optimism.
The Year of Joy community offers people the opportunity to join like-minded people in an uplifting community and receive free access to inspiring and optimistic stories, wisdom, and practical tips to help us find more joy in our lives.
The Year of Joy will start with a Week of Optimism and Joy in partnership with The Centre for Optimism.
Each week in the Year of Joy, a different “Superpower”, covering one of the four core joy ingredients of well-being, belonging, positive impact, and fun, will be featured. Experts will share their knowledge and advice on how to use each Joy Superpower to bring more joy to their lives, as well as to the lives of others.
During the Year of Joy, there will be many online and in-person engagement opportunities.
The first online event will be an “Hour of Optimism and Joy” on Friday, 20 January, at 12 pm Australian AEST and at 8 pm Thursday, 19 January Americas ET. The first live event will be a Breakfast Celebration of Optimism and Joy in Port Melbourne on 21 January.

Quotable Quotes
Andrew Cannon, the co-founder of The Art and Science of Joy and project lead on the Year of Joy initiative, said, “The world is going through great transformation, and as we enter a new year, we have a choice of how we want to face this transformation? With joy and optimism or with fear and pessimism? We are excited to team up with Victor and Noirin from the Centre for Optimism on our mission to empower people to build more joy into their lives.”
Shari Alyse, America's Joy Magnet: "I have found that optimism is a catalyst for joy because it keeps me focused on the good, sets me up for wins no matter what, and keeps me grateful and appreciative for the gift of this moment."
The Centre for Optimism's Noirin Mosley said, "Optimism fuels and enhances the joy that we can all experience in our daily life. There is arguably nothing better than to enjoy and feel a pure moment of joy."
Victor Perton believes, "An optimistic spirit can bring significant benefits, including happiness, joy, active longevity, better health including lower risks of cardiovascular disease, better sleep, greater resilience, stronger relationships and increased self-mastery."
