About us
The World Happiness Forum is international non-profit body that has developed from a series of ground-breaking conferences on the subject of human happiness that began in April 2005 in Sydney, Australia. The Happiness & Its Causes conferences were originally conceived as an opportunity to debate, compare and contrast the many different approaches to happiness put forward by science, psychology, philosophy, economics and religion. The conferences are now run in Sydney, London and San Francisco.

Vision
To establish a dialogue on the contributing factors for human happiness that is inclusive of science, psychology, philosophy, economics and religion in order to empower individuals to achieve happiness and to contribute to a society that is conducive to the happiness of its citizens.
Purpose
To promote the creation and dissemination of learning that will enhance human happiness.
To contribute to the revolution which is taking place in the scientific understanding of the mind and the brain and to integrate the discoveries in neuroscience into other learning traditions.
To establish a secular context for examination and application of the tools for achieving happiness developed by the ancient wisdom traditions, particularly contemplative practices.
World Happiness Foundation is a non-profit body incorporated under the laws of Australia.
World Happiness Forum’s activities are overseen by Chief Executive Officer, Tony Steel and Conference Director Beth Phelan.
