Pleased to be joining the Harvard Human Flourishing Program’s online discussion of best practices and different approaches to assessing and promoting flourishing in a wide variety of settings.

Founded in April of 2019, with an initial focus on educational contexts, and now expanded to also include health care organizations, workplaces, communities, and other sites. Conversations have covered the measurement of flourishing among different groups, the development of interventions to enhance specific domains of well-being and overall flourishing, and the revision of K-12, university, and medical school curricula to emphasize the centrality of flourishing and its pathways for leading a good life and building a better society.

Monthly meetings are conducted in the spirit of a true community of practice, which has been defined as, “a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.”
