Testimonials
What you said about Happiness & Its Causes '07
The speakers were all excellent and it was great to hear so many different viewpoints and perspectives, which all came together to give a very inclusive sense of the ‘causes of happiness’.

Just a quick note to say a HUGE thank you for the wonderful event… I thought the speeches were very informative, well timed, and covered rich and diverse perspectives. I left feeling that I had had a good injection of ideas! The conference also had a friendly atmosphere and I think the range of professions/interests there made a very refreshing break from ‘just educationists’!
