Exploring What Matters evaluation 

A new research paper from the Centre for Economic Performance has found that taking a happiness course in your local area can raise your life satisfaction by more than getting a long-term partner or finding employment.
In this video, Prof Jan De Neve (CEP and Oxford) discusses some of the findings of the evaluation of the “Exploring What Matters” course which was developed by the UK charity Action for Happiness - and backed by the Dalai Lama. The course has been evaluated by a randomised controlled trial (RCT) carried out by academic experts from the CEP and the Wellbeing Research Centre at Oxford University and University College London as part of the evidence programme of the What Works Centre for Wellbeing.
The course is led by volunteers and takes place face-to-face in local communities over eight weekly sessions. It is offered on a donation-basis - so it remains accessible to everyone - and has already been run in hundreds of locations across the UK.
