Please join the Winter Park Institute as it presents Professor Arthur Brooks speaking on Build the Life You Want: How to Get Happier in an Unhappy World. The evidence is clear: In almost every country, happiness is falling.

But we can counter this trend by understanding the fundamentals of happiness science, practicing it each day and sharing it with others.
