**FEBRUARY 10/11 and MARCH 10/12, 2023 - The Gross Global Happiness summit is an innovative executive education event. We will learn, unlearn, and share experiences on the topic of happiness, bringing together a multitude of perspectives and expertise.**
Get ready for deep impact
Globally, happiness is one of our most important goals. Studies show that we value it more than success, knowledge, or material items. And yet, in a world that has continued to progress and become objectively better by most conceivable standards, why do many find this such a difficult goal to reach? As important as happiness is, how much do we know about it and its impacts on individual and global progress?
In 2023 you can join ONLINE and ONSITE
The Gross Global Happiness Summit is an innovative executive education event in which people from all over the globe come to tackle these very questions. This year we are once again thrilled to host many incredible keynote speakers, such as happiness guru Tal Ben-Shahar, sustainability champion Mónica Araya, Life Design Lab coach Dave Evans, and emotional intelligence experts Robin Stern and Marc Brackett. We’ll learn, unlearn, and share experiences on the topic of happiness, bringing together a multitude of perspectives and expertise. This experience will combine theory and practice, touching on the latest research from positive psychologists, but also delving into the practical applications of what we’ve learned and are still discovering in the field. Happiness will be brought front and center, as we explore and understand how people can lead happier, more meaningful lives.

THE UNIVERSITY FOR PEACE AND THE CENTRE FOR EXECUTIVE EDUCATION
Located in Costa Rica, the University for Peace (UPEACE) was established in December 1980 as a Treaty Organization by the United Nations General Assembly. UPEACE is the only university in the United Nations system authorized to offer academic degrees in the field of peace and conflict studies.
Within the University for Peace, the UPEACE Centre for Executive Education was launched to deliver dynamic workshops, seminars and training courses. In a world that needs more changemakers, these courses are designed to empower people and provide them with the skills, mindsets and networks to make a positive impact on the world.
