We created WOHASU® to serve as a comprehensive platform to bring awareness about the benefits behind the science of happiness and wellbeing. We strive to educate individuals, businesses and civic leaders about the importance of learning and implementing data-driven tools and policies that can make people, organizations and communities happier.
Beginning with the first World Happiness Summit® (WOHASU®) in 2017, we have been delivering on our mission to spread the ripples of happiness to a global audience, and cultivate a community committed to co-creating a happier, healthier and more sustainable world.
We are both honored and humbled by WOHASU’s success. A variety of impacts can be seen directly from the outcomes of our programming, and indirectly through the new services, programs, events, businesses and foundations created by those who attended the Summit, fostering new ventures arising from the learnings and network acquired through the WOHASU community.
Wellbeing research and practices have many proven advantages that help optimize our personal and professional lives. Through the World Happiness Summit® and WOHASU® ecosystem we connect a global audience to foster community.
Become an active participant of your life. Instead of letting life happen to you, show up to your life. We invite you to join the WOHASU® movement.
I choose happiness.
