The Pursuit of Happiness - Lectures

The Pursuit of Happiness lectures are funded in part by the John Templeton Foundation. Recent developments in positive psychology have brought the idea of happiness back to public attention. The CSLR launched "The Pursuit of Happiness Project" in 2005 to put religion and science in conversation, focus on the relation between altruistic love and happiness, retrieve some of the rich traditional teachings captured in this ideal, and ultimately reconstruct the idea of happiness in light of the new findings of the human and social sciences and of the new liberties of constitutional democracies.

A series of public events are planned to showcase the findings and teachings of this five-year project.
