The Happiness Formula
Barbara didn’t find happiness by changing her life. She found it on a commuter train, journalling each morning while running teams in financial services and raising two boys. Three years later she had a formula that works day in and day out.

What People Are Saying
Barbara Demone was the ideal keynote speaker to open our Sport + Spirit Women’s Retreat weekend. Barbara’s personal journey to happiness and timely message resonated with the audience and the aim of the retreat, inspiring our guests beyond the weekend.
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Good Morning, Life! I knew I wanted Barbara to speak to my team. Her perspective, as well as the perceptive and thought-provoking questions she posed to us, resonated with the entire team and prompted much conversation during and after her visit. Do yourself a favour — read GML and then have Barbara inspire you in person. Thank you, Barbara!
