An extraordinary exploration of human happiness continues!
This ground-breaking conference continues the fascinating examination of the tools and techniques for leading a happier life that began in 2007 at the 2nd Annual Conference on Happiness & Its Causes.
A capacity audience of over 3000 people were captivated by a debate that spanned the disciplines of psychology, science, philosophy and religion.
The new science of positive psychology is at the forefront of research into how we can use our own minds to create happier lives. Meanwhile, neuroscience is reporting on the connection between training the mind to be more positive and actual changes in the structure of the brain. Both of these fields hold the tantalising prospect that happiness can be enhanced by mental training.
At last year’s conference, the Dalai Lama and other leading minds inspired us with the thought that the path to genuine and lasting happiness may lie in developing positive qualities of altruism, kindness, generosity and compassion. Rather than being a self-centred search for hedonistic pleasure, the path to happiness may lie in creating a more caring and humane society.
