The Happiness Code is a weekly blog by internationally renowned medical executive Professor Javaid I. Sheikh. Dr. Sheikh is a distinguished clinician-scientist and widely sought after thought leader and innovator in global academic medicine and is the Dean of the groundbreaking Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar (WCM-Q), the first successful international branch campus of a US, research-intensive graduate medical school to grant a medical degree from a US university.

The Happiness Code will explore the causes of widespread unhappiness in modern day living and identify strategies for coping, enhancing resilience, and promoting wellness of the body and mind. While the initial focus will be on Qatar and the GCC region, with its evidence based approach, it will be relevant to elsewhere in the world.
