    Katarina Gaborova

    Katarina Gaborova was born and raised in Eastern Europe. The fall of the communist regime during her childhood brought with it her first experiences of profound social change, which helped shape her future. At the age of 19, she moved away from her family and home country. She has since travelled through Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa, with a yearning to experience different cultures, learn new languages and explore life. Katarina trained as a psycho-physiologist and psychologist in Australia, and became a life coach and neuro-linguistic programming practitioner in the Netherlands. She is particularly interested in how change and unexpected life circumstances can influence people’s mental and emotional state. She works extensively with the international community – both adults and children – in her private psychology practice in The Hague. Applying knowledge gleaned from various schools of psychology, combined with life-coaching, she assists people in achieving their goals.Member of the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP), Regentesselaan 277, Den Haag, Netherlandswww.psychologistinthehague.comOver the years, Katarina has lived in various countries and has been exposed to many different cultures. This is one of the reasons why she decided to offer psychological support to the international community of The Hague in the Netherlands. Although the majority of her clients are international students, new immigrants and expats, she also deals with clients who need psychological support for everyday challenges.WORKEducational psychologist at Australian schools where she designed social-skills training programs. 2006, Centacare, Melbourne, Australia.Member of a team responsible for designing and producing psycho-educational materials in Slovakia to be used as a resource for families dealing with trauma. 2007, M.D. group s.r.o, Trencin, Slovakia.Private practitioner as psychologist, in conjunction with a general practitioner at the H.S.

Combining my own personal experiences with discussions at work about the concept of illusive happiness, I was inspired to create this collection.

The quest for happiness has been addressed innumerable times throughout history. More than 7000 publications have covered the topic thus far, about half of which include empirical research. Philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and even physiologists have for centuries investigated what constitutes happiness. However, its definition is still yet to be agreed
