Meaningful Conversations: Happiness

Details

To join the WhatsApp community for this series of events: https://chat.whatsapp.com/ERneZCMrs17ABxb03jnsmv Hey, discover how to master your emotional intelligence with a thought-provoking and friendly approach. Join us for a modern-day version of an 18th-century salon. Engage in an evening of meaningful conversation without the usual small talk. A place to share personal stories and to learn from diverse ideas. Each time we pick a topic and frame the discussion around a few related questions. HAPPINESS 😁 "While we wait for life, life passes", Seneca 1. Does true happiness depend on anything external? Can being "too happy" or extreme optimism be harmful? 2. Does a wealthy country guarantee happy citizens? Can people be happy if their country is in war? 3. Should governments be responsible of the happiness rate? Do you think the system wants us to be happy? Do social media and AI contribute to happiness? 4. Does success cause happiness, or does happiness cause success? 5. Is it about having what you want or wanting what you have? Does intelligence help or hinder? 6. Can you be truly happy alone? Is the happy person the one who needs nothing? 7. Are you happy? What could we do to be happier? Bring a jacket or sweater if it’s cold… Hope to see many of you there, welcome!

WHAT'S THE VIBE Diverse: it's not rare to have people from all continents, as well as people from different ages, religions, ideologies, and backgrounds. Vulnerable: we value real conversations, personal stories and experiences. Casual: some people are having tea, others wine, some listen more, others talk more, some are taking notes, others are fully absorbed in conversation. PRICES In person events are organized for FREE.

To meet with, share experiences, hear different perspectives from people of all walks of life, different generations, and different corners of the planet" – Scott Ruddell, Colorado | LQA premium member "Since joining LQA I have had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people who have a wide range of knowledge and life experience. Of course, before participating I was under the impression that one must have read tones of books, possess a higher IQ or even a quiz master but frankly, those qualities are not the ethos for LQA. I personally learned that it’s about sharing, coming together with all sorts of knowledge and having a growth mindset to learn and hear other people’s perspectives. Overall, I would highly recommend joining LQA as it will broaden your horizons and it will enable you to share your world views on a larger scale with like-minded people." – Shah Karim, London | LQA premium member SEE YOU THERE
