Get ready for deep impact
Globally, happiness is one of our most important goals. Studies show that we value it more than success, knowledge, or material items. And yet, in a world that has continued to progress and become objectively better by most conceivable standards, why do many find this such a difficult goal to reach? As important as happiness is, how much do we know about it and its impacts on individual and global progress?

The Gross Global Happiness Summit is an innovative executive education event in which people from all over the globe come to tackle these very questions. This year we are once again thrilled to host many incredible keynote speakers, such as happiness guru Tal Ben-Shahar, sustainability champion Mónica Araya, Life Design Lab coach Dave Evans, and emotional intelligence experts Robin Stern and Marc Brackett. We’ll learn, unlearn, and share experiences on the topic of happiness, bringing together a multitude of perspectives and expertise. This experience will combine theory and practice, touching on the latest research from positive psychologists, but also delving into the practical applications of what we’ve learned and are still discovering in the field. Happiness will be brought front and center, as we explore and understand how people can lead happier, more meaningful lives.
