Can we learn to be happy?
This is the key question that has motivated the development of a series of groundbreaking conferences in Sydney, London, San Francisco and Singapore and the establishment of the World Happiness Forum.
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.
The World Happiness Forum is an international non-profit body established to promote dialogue on the tools and techniques that can be drawn from science, psychology, philosophy, economics and religion for the enhancement of human happiness.
It is motivated by a belief in the potential of the mind for growth and change and the need to look inward, as well as outward, for solutions to problems of dissatisfaction and suffering in daily life.
