In Pursuit of Happiness

Find Joy in the Pursuit.

The Atlantic’s In Pursuit of Happiness event kicked off this spring to help people build more intentional and happy lives. Drawing on our celebrated coverage of the practices and principles of happiness from the renowned social scientist Arthur C. Brooks, we convened experts from a range of disciplines—neuroscientists and philosophers, artists and business leaders—to explore methods of and approaches to building a more meaningful life. Along the way, attendees participated in self-reflection and connect with others looking to enrich their own life and the lives of those around them.
