Can happiness be learnt? According to Ludovic Savariello, the answer lies in understanding and training the brain; a subject he explored during a conference at Monaco’s Hôtel Métropole…
An engineer, entrepreneur and neurocoach, Savariello developed his interest in neuroscience following a serious accident 15 years ago that left him in a wheelchair. Initially told his recovery could take two years, he began practising mental visualisation alongside conventional rehabilitation and was walking again after one year.
The experience inspired his book; Your Brain, Official Supplier of Happiness. Published by Robert Laffont, Savariello explores how simple daily habits and mental techniques can improve wellbeing, concentration and performance, as he explained to Monaco Info.
Today, Savariello works with business leaders, public figures and elite athletes, helping them manage stress and develop their mental potential. He believes happiness is not simply a state of mind but a skill that can be developed through regular practice.
Amongst his practical recommendations is controlled breathing. Focusing attention on slow, rhythmic breaths, particularly through the nose, can help reduce stress and restore concentration.
He also addressed the growing influence of artificial intelligence, warning against allowing technology to replace the reasoning and learning processes essential to personal development.
His central message is that happiness and mental resilience are not simply matters of chance. By understanding how the brain works and adopting positive daily habits, he believes people can take greater control of their emotional wellbeing and performance.
