For the John Templeton Foundation, I covered the launch of the amazing multiyear Global Flourishing Study:
It was the last day of April and springtime was in full swing in Washington, D.C. Inside the historic Great Hall of the Gallup Organization’s world headquarters, cut tulips and lilies bloomed from bud vases set on conference tables facing the stage. The room buzzed with activity, even as the gathered group of students, educators, journalists, nonprofit and business leaders checked their phones and hot-off-the-printer handouts for the latest headlines: “A Global Flourishing Study Finds That Young Adults, Well, Aren’t” (The New York Times); “How to flourish –– even when you aren’t at your happiest, according to research” (CNN); and “Why we need to measure people’s well-being—lessons from a global survey” (Nature).
