This week we got to connect to Karen Guggenheim, Co-Founder of the World Happiness Summit, now in its 4th year in Miami, Florida.  Karen’s own passion for choosing happiness is rooted in personal tragedy. Seven years ago she lost her husband of twenty-one years and decided that she could choose to be a victim and let one event define her life or choose to be happy. She chose the latter, guided by her intention to have a life full of purpose and meaning.  This act set her on a course to re-invent her life and connect with others studying the science of happiness. For the last four years she has brought the world's leaders in science, psychology and wellness together, creating a ripple effect around the world by giving people tools to develop their happiness by implementing practices in their day to day lives. In this episode, we talked about her path, the science of happiness,  how important wellness in the workplace is, and how her foundation is helping to bring these practices to a wider audience including successful programs in schools and corporate settings. We also talked about steps everyone can take every day to increase happiness in their own lives, and how truly transformative change comes from the rather simple concept of consistency.  Lastly, we talked about the life changing aspect of choosing to be happy, and how growing your “happiness muscle” is both teachable and learnable, and vital for long term wellbeing.   Additional Resources:https://www.worldhappiness.com/   Guest Bio:Karen Guggenheim is Founder of the WOHASU Foundation, and Co-Founder of the World Happiness Summit®. Stepping into this role is an evolution of her extensive career arc, which includes editorial board work with The Miami Herald, strategic communications and integrated marketing expertise with C-Level executives as well as worldwide brands and a personal passion for making a happier world through helping create endeavors that teach happiness practices one person at a time. Under her leadership, WOHASU was awarded with the “Key of the City of Miami” by the Miami Mayor and the members of the Miami City Commission, and inaugurated the first World Happiness Summit in Miami in March 2017. Karen leads the efforts to unite the innovative gathering of government policy makers and leaders, forward-thinking economists, leading academics and entrepreneurs in an unprecedented format around the data-driven science of happiness. It is Karen’s goal to champion the WOHASU mission to invest in and support initiatives like the World Happiness Summit as well as make a happier world through such endeavors. She is also visiting professor in the Executive Master in Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Lisbon, and is a regular speaker at the Horasis Global Meeting in Portugal. She was also invited by the Colombian government to speak at the Optimism at Work Conference in Bogota, Colombia, and at Sustainable Brand’s New Metrics Conference in Philadelphia. Karen has been a guest in several leading happiness podcasts where she has shared her passion about the global happiness movement. Karen holds a Master in Communication from the University of Miami and an MBA from Georgetown University.   Charity Spotlight: Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walks https://www.vitalvoices.org/global-mentoring-walks/   Through the Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walk, mentors and mentees come together to walk in their communities, sharing challenges and solutions and forming supportive bonds that foster growth, confidence and leadership. This global movement began with one women’s effort to share her knowledge and experience with aspiring women leaders. Geraldine Laybourne, Founder and former CEO of Oxygen Media, responded to requests for advice from young women by inviting them to meet her for a morning walk. It became a routine for Laybourne, and an invaluable opportunity for women who wanted to learn from her experience and perspective. A longtime friend of and board member for Vital Voices, Laybourne introduced the concept to leaders of our Global Leadership Network, who in 2008 took the idea to their home countries and coordinated the first annual Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walks. Since then, more than 550 Walks have been coordinated in over 80 countries around the world.

Karen Guggenheim is the Founder and Chief Executive of the World Happiness Summit, WOHASU. Along with her team, she brings together game changers and researchers focused on using science and practical habits to increase happiness from the personal level to the national.   Karen has a personal passion to create a happier world and plans to do so by using science to show how happiness changes our biochemical state, giving us the ability to attain our highest potential. WOHASU has been purposely created as a buffet of research and hands on activities with the intention that attendees can determine the data and habits that resonate internally.   I met Karen while she was in Los Angeles and I was enamored by her passion and dedication to bring an incredible group of people and the community together. Talking with Karen is an ode to the science behind the importance of our happiness. Happiness is not fluffy, it is researched, practical and possible for anybody.   Karen and I talk about how most people end up making themselves less happy while seeking fulfillment and she gives us a road map with directions to cultivate our own happiness. We discuss the science behind how the school system is holding children back from attaining a higher IQ and the researched change we could implement today to improve the system. This is the story of loss and how it manifested into one of the world’s most impactful summits to date.   Radically Vibrant Karen   Transforming loss into a happy experience that celebrates the life of your lost one, while understanding you’re still human and need to grieve Tackling happiness directly by forcing yourself to be happy, will make you unhappy, while tackling it indirectly through your spiritual life, intellectual relationship, and physical and emotional well being leads to happiness as a whole Using science to showcase the necessity of happiness and ensuring the research is accessible to as many people as possible   Radically Inspired Clarity   Our brain has a negativity bias, since we don’t actually need happiness to survive, and we must discover how to work around it through daily habits that cultivate happiness Become the person you want to be by doing as they would and acting as if you are that person prior to fully transitioning into the higher version of yourself We cannot utilize our full potential if we are unhappy because our energy is spent on negativity instead of self growth, opportunity and gratitude   Karen Guggenheim Answers…   How did a personal loss manifest into a Happiness Summit with attendees from all over the world? What does science say about stress’s effect on our ability to forgive and be happy? How do we identify and transition out of our conditioned belief that once we acquire the job, the relationship, the car, then we’ll find happiness? Where do you see the future of society if it were to totally adopt the practices of the World Happiness Summit?   Radically Loved Quotes   “Something that we haven’t touched upon that is extremely important for happiness is gratitude. It’s very hard to be unhappy while you’re being grateful.”   “Happiness is not fluffy, you have to apply yourself. You have to tackle the different areas of your life that contribute to happiness and then, your happiness will increase.”   “Happiness is preventive medicine.”   “There is a lot of potential to make immediate and lasting change in society.
