Dr. Timothy Sharp
I completed three degrees in psychology including a B.Sc. (Hons), a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and a Ph.D., before working for many years as a clinical and academic psychologist.
My main focus these days is in the area of positive psychology and happiness with my time predominately devoted to enhancing happiness for as many people as possible through The Happiness Institute (http://www.thehappinessinstitute.com).
I’ve written several self-help books including the best selling "The Good Sleep Guide," published by Penguin Australia in 2001, "The Happiness Handbook" (Finch, 2005) and "Happy Parents, Happy Children" (Penguin Australia, in press and due out 2008) as well as "Happiness for Busy People" (also due out in 2008 with Penguin Australia).
I divide my time mostly between writing, speaking at conferences and consulting to organisations, as well as training our growing team of coaches at The Happiness Institute (see also <url removed>.au).
