The Global Flourishing Study is a collaboration of researchers from universities and institutions across 25 countries and six continents, bringing together expertise from fields including public health, psychology, sociology, economics, education, medicine, philosophy, theology, and statistics.


This international community of scholars is working together to better understand the factors that shape human flourishing around the world. Their research draws on data from more than 200,000 participants across 22 countries and has already generated a substantial and growing body of publications on topics such as happiness, health, meaning and purpose, character, relationships, financial well-being, community participation, religion, hope, trust, and social connection.


Learn more about how the Global Flourishing Study has become a shared resource for researchers worldwide, and explore the growing body of findings in our Global Flourishing Study Research Publications collection.
