The World Happiness Fest and the World Happiness Foundation are on a mission to realize a world of freedom, consciousness, and happiness for all. Through a series of global events, summits, and initiatives, they are connecting millions of people, fostering a new paradigm known as Happytalism, which emphasizes well-being, sustainability, and collective prosperity.
2024: A Year of Creating and Integrating New Narratives to Rise
Gross Global Happiness Summit at UPEACE, Costa Rica The year 2024 began with the Gross Global Happiness Summit at the United Nations-mandated University for Peace (UPEACE) in Costa Rica. This summit brought together global leaders, educators, and happiness advocates to discuss and promote policies that prioritize human well-being over mere economic growth.
World Happiness Fest in Granada, Spain, and Miami, USA Following Costa Rica, the World Happiness Fest continued its journey to Granada, Spain, and Miami, USA. These festivals are unique gatherings that blend science, art, and culture to explore and enhance human happiness. The events featured keynote speakers, workshops, and interactive sessions designed to inspire and empower participants to integrate happiness practices into their daily lives.
Online Engagement To reach a global audience, the World Happiness Fest also offered online sessions, allowing millions to participate from the comfort of their homes. This digital approach ensures that the message of happiness and well-being transcends geographical boundaries.
GNH in Education Symposium in Bhutan The Gross National Happiness (GNH) in Education Symposium in Bhutan highlighted the integration of happiness and well-being into educational systems. This event showcased Bhutan’s pioneering approach to education, which balances academic excellence with the cultivation of emotional and psychological well-being.

The theme for 2025 is “Regenerative Happiness and the Magic of Alchemy.” The year will kick off in India in February, continuing with the Gross Global Happiness event from March 7-9 and the World Happiness Fest Europe in Spain from March 14-16. The celebration will then move to North America, with the World Happiness Fest in Pine Crest, Miami, from March 20-21 and online sessions from March 17-19.

Happytalism: A New Paradigm to Thrive Together
At the core of these initiatives is the concept of Happytalism, a paradigm shift from traditional economic models to one that values human happiness and well-being as the ultimate goals. Happytalism promotes sustainable development, social equity, and environmental stewardship, ensuring that all individuals and communities can thrive together.
The World Happiness Foundation’s efforts are not just about creating temporary joy but about instilling long-lasting happiness and well-being across the globe. By fostering a sense of community, promoting sustainable practices, and emphasizing the importance of mental and emotional health, they are paving the way for a better, more conscious world.
