Dr. Aymee : MyBlogHer Profile

In 1996, Aymee Coget, Ph.D. (pronounced Co jjayy), CEO of the American Happiness Association, made the decision to devote her entire life to helping millions of people live happier lives. Since then she has established an international practice based in San Francisco teaching happiness science to individuals, groups and she gives speeches to corporations.

Dr. Aymee has over 15 years of experience in positive psychology and works with people teaching them how to be happy and how to handle life's toughest challenges. She does this through her program called, The Happiness Makeover™. She has received accolades for her work from people who thought they would never experience happiness as demonstrated in client testimonials and was recognized by the New York Times as the Suze Orman of happiness.

Dr. Aymee’s combinations of techniques focusing on the mind, body, and spirit have helped people achieve a deep internal contentment that stays regardless of what the situation may bring. Being recognized as a leader in helping others feel better, Aymee blogs for many websites including Yahoo! Health and has founded The American Happiness Association. 

Aymee frequently comments on the topics of happiness and resiliency for the media including magazines, newspapers, and television. She is an author in a book series focused on achieving gratitude in the face of tragedy called “Thank God I” where she writes about her story “Thank God I was fat, ugly, poor, divorced, and live in chronic pain.” 

In 2004, recognized as a happiness authority by Lionel Ketchian, the founder of The Happiness Club, she was asked to start a happi- ness club in San Francisco and since then has trained others on how to lead happiness clubs. Dr. Aymee also has authored the Feel Better Now! home study course so people can learn how to feel better in the privacy of their own home.

Aymee takes a ‘training’ approach with her clients by seeing them as whole individuals who need to simply learn and employ the skills of happiness science. Aymee’s PhD is in Organizational Psychology with an emphasis in leadership and the science of happiness.

Aymee also speaks to groups and organizations about the following topics: positive psychology, sustainable happiness, taking leadership of our happiness, happiness habits, the types of happiness, creating meaning jobs, increasing job satisfaction and performance, authentic leadership, and authentic leadership development.
