From the Founder
“A good life takes practice. Let’s do it together.”
Nevriye Yesil is the Founder of Happiness Circle™ and the Happiness Leadership Institute, committed to bringing the science of happiness to communities worldwide. A doctoral scholar studying human flourishing under Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, she chose to carry the research out of the classroom and into cafes, living rooms, parks, and community centers. What began as one circle in Lakewood Ranch is now becoming a global movement of people practicing happiness together.
