The first option can make us feel tired, disheartened, frustrated, sad, or unsatisfied, while the second will make us feel cheerful, motivated, calm, and happy. Which energy would you prefer?
Hedgehogs and Other Prickly Creatures
Some animals and plants have developed natural protection, such as prickles, to guard against external aggression and avoid being hurt. As humans we also have resources that can serve to both protect and insulate us. Do you have prickles?
I Am My Relationships
There are many different types of relationships within the plant and animal kingdoms: parasitical, symbiotic, cooperative, competitive, etc. In our everyday lives we also construct these types of relationships with the people around us. What kinds of relationships do you have?
Sowing Happiness

And yet, sometimes we hope that happiness in life will grow without planting any seeds, without any work. Happiness is a delicate plant that requires constant care. Would you like to learn more?

Maria Mercè Conangla and Jaume Soler are psychologists and the founders of the Fundació Àmbit institute for personal development in Barcelona (Spain), a non-profit organization that has specialized in providing training, counseling, and resources for personal growth, education, and emotional management since 1996. Two of its innovative projects are the ÀMBITuniversit@rtdelviure program and its Master's in Emotional Ecology, which the authors co-direct. Their research and work in the context of humanist psychology and emotional management led them to develop a new concept of emotional ecology in 2002, which they have since advocated in eleven co-authored books. Both are lecturers and collaborating professors in a variety of master's degrees linked to emotional management, well-being, and personal growth at the University of Barcelona.
