Quality of Life eXperiments
About QoLx

We make it our mission to provide people with the tools we all need to better evaluate ourselves and our situations so we can make better choices.

Quality of Life eXperiments (QoLx) is an organization dedicated to psychology education for all. We envision methods to teach people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to raise their quality of life by better understanding ourselves.

One of our methods is SQUID - a powerful intervention that stands for Stop, Question, Understand, Imagine, then Decide. Utilizing SQUID is a quick way to achieve mindfulness when we need it most. With better choices come fewer regrets.
