Understanding what helps us flourish.
A multidimensional approach grounded in research and open to the diversity of human experience.
A flourishing life has many dimensions
Flourishing goes beyond life satisfaction alone. We explore the dimensions of life and the conditions that may support flourishing without reducing them to a single indicator.
These dimensions and contributing factors are studied in their diversity, without hierarchy.
Bringing perspectives together to inform decisions
Combining data, interdisciplinary research and community knowledge helps us understand the connections between our living conditions and our ability to flourish. The Institute’s future work will aim to make these insights useful to researchers, decision-makers and the public.
