Schools of Happiness
Classrooms where students learn to know themselves, regulate emotions and live with purpose — supported by teachers, counsellors and school leaders trained in positive education.
Ecosystems of Happiness
Empowering communities to cultivate happiness — for all.
What if happiness was not just a nice idea, but the foundation of sustainable success? As the world navigates growing social, economic and environmental challenges, prioritising happiness and well-being is no longer a luxury — it is a necessity.
Choose your ecosystem
Five living systems. One movement.
Each ecosystem has its own rhythm — but they share the same north star: 10 billion free, conscious and happy people by 2050.
Enterprises of Happiness
Cultures of flourishing where employees feel safe, valued and supported — powered by Chief Well-Being Officer certification and Happytalism strategy work.
Cities of Happiness
Municipalities designing Beyond-GDP measurement, Agora networks and public-policy pilots that put subjective well-being at the centre of local governance.
Hospitals of Happiness
Well-being-centred hospitals: programs for clinicians, patient families and administrators — reducing burnout, restoring meaning and building healing environments.
Hotels of Happiness
Hospitality reimagined around genuine flourishing — for guests, staff and the wider community — with well-being embedded into design, service and operations.

The journey together
Four stages, co-designed with your community.
01 · Diagnosis
Ecosystems of Happiness Assessment (PHA)
Tailored to your type of ecosystem — evaluation of the environment, happiness and well-being, plus focus groups to gather key information.
02 · Strategic plan
Co-design the map
With local leaders and stakeholders we co-design a customised program with self-sustainable strategies: diagnostic report, customised program, initiatives, training.
03 · Implementation
Roll out with the community
Ongoing training and advice for leaders and collaborators. Access to our platform of tools and resources to implement well-being initiatives.
04 · Measurement & Certification
Track impact, certify progress
Results measured every 3–6 months against the initial assessment — leading to Ecosystem of Happiness certification.
Proven models
Organisations and partners committed to well-being — with which we have already walked.
From educators in Bhutan to Chief Well-Being Officers across 45 countries, from Nairobi social entrepreneurs to Tulum municipal pilots, the Ecosystem model is co-designed with communities that were already doing the work.
Why become an Ecosystem of Happiness
What partnership unlocks.

Sustainable urban development
Conscious planning enables greener, more inclusive and resilient urban spaces — supporting SDG 11 and SDG 3. Cities that focus on happiness attract investment, tourism and business, driving long-term prosperity (OECD).
