The recent session I ran at the NCVO conference on Inspirational Governance: a happiness hypothesis was well received.  It was great to see and hear people sharing how hope and optimism is giving them a platform of resourcefulness in these difficult times.   I will be running a day training at the Directory for Social Change in November.  For details visit the Directory for Social change website.   Watch this spot, as I will be publishing the key themes emerging from my action research on happiness.
