World Happiness Summit

Happy First Day of Spring and International Day of Happiness! Our Lead Curator of Joy just got back from the World Happiness Summit in Miami. Here are some of her favorite takeaways from the summit:

“"True happiness and meaning comes from living for others." - Dr. Arthur Brooks

"A 'sunshine leader' embodies positive leadership, characterized by fostering a positive and encouraging environment, promoting team engagement, and inspiring high performance through optimism and a focus on strengths." - Emma Seppälä, Ph.D.

"Optimism is genetic for some of us about 25% but the good news is science has proven that we can grow it, like a muscle." - Dr. Sue Varma (during a live podcast of the The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos)

School principals are being educated in the science of happiness and you can bring this to your school district with Dr. Arthur Brooks , WOHASU ®. And Miami-Dade County Public Schools.

Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, an economist and professor at the University of Oxford, emphasizes that workplace well-being is not only crucial for human well-being but also for company performance.

Resonating themes for lasting HAPPINESS: Social Connection, Optimism, Meaning, Hope, Gratitude, and Mindfulness - being present to what is happening right NOW!

Lastly, the attendees of the summit where some of the most interesting, joyful and impacting parts of the weekend.

Thank you Karen Guggenheim for your vision for a happier world and workplace!
