Join happiness expert Arthur Brooks for a live event on May 20

Plus Deepak Chopra, Angela Duckworth, Vivek H. Murthy, Gretchen Rubin, and more |

"Like everything else in life that is worthwhile, pursuing happiness requires intellectual energy and real effort," writes Arthur Brooks in the latest installment of his popular column for The Atlantic. "You simply have to do the work. The good news is that the work will be joyful, and the results quite wonderful." One way to begin this joyful work is to join The Atlantic's free virtual event, In Pursuit of Happiness, on Thursday, May 20, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. As one of many speakers—and happiness experts—featured at the event, Arthur will share what he has learned from his years of studying and teaching the science of well-being—most recently as a faculty member at Harvard University. Additional speakers include Deepak Chopra, the founder of the Chopra Foundation; Angela Duckworth, the founder and CEO of Character Lab; Vivek H. Murthy, the 19th and 21st U.S. Surgeon General; Evelyn Lewis Prieto, the director of meditation at Headspace; the author and podcast host Gretchen Rubin; and many others. Along with Atlantic journalists, they'll identify what truly brings us happiness, and explore how a year of social isolation has made us rethink where we might find meaning and joy moving forward. Register today and you'll not only reserve your spot, you'll also get exercises and tips for happiness sent to your inbox before the event.
