Leaders from all over the world get together to realize a world with freedom, consciousness, and happiness, for all.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gross Global Happiness will be held both virtually and onsite at the UPEACE campus in Costa Rica this March 4th – 6th.

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 the impacts it has on individual and global progress?

The Gross Global Happiness summit is an innovative executive education event envisioned and created by social entrepreneur Luis Gallardo, founder, and president of the World Happiness Foundation and the World Happiness Academy, and Mohit Mukherjee, founding Director of the Centre for Executive Education at the University for Peace and their teams. Leaders from all over the globe come to tackle these very questions. Featuring happiness gurus Tal Ben-Shahar, Nic Marks, Raj Raghunathan, and Saamdu Chetri this March 2022, we will 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.

Dr. Saamdu Chetri was born in rural Bhutan and has a Ph.D. in commerce.

After working in private and development sectors for 25 years, and Cabinet of the PM for five years, he then founded the Gross National Happiness Centre Bhutan and headed for five years. He has been teaching, consulting, and speaking at various international and national occasions on mindfulness and Happiness around the world.

Saamdu believes Happiness is within. We experience the truth of this when we are totally no longer attached to greed, aversion or delusion. We experience happiness in relation to the self with self, self with others, and self with nature. These are the three divides that make us suffer on this planet. We bring sufferance to Mother Earth because of these divides. Today, we are walking with our open eyes to the cliff. We need to bring transformation within each one of us. We must connect with ourselves. We must connect with other human beings. We must connect with nature. In truth, we are nature.
