Learn Live with Sonja Lyubomirsky & Lauren Weinstein
Explore the science of happiness, meaning, and human connection through weekly teaching, personal stories, Q&A, and group discussion with incredible people from around the world.
Join us live every Friday or catch the replays on your own time.
As Seen In
What You’ll Experience
Every week, we spend 30 minutes focused on one topic that meaningfully changes our experience of life.
Sonja shares the research. Lauren brings it to life and makes it actionable (not generic advice but how you can actually live it in the messiness of real days and real life).
Some of the topics we explore:
The Three Ingredients for a Meaningful Life
How to Be a More Engaging Conversationalist
Becoming More Effective in Difficult Conversations
The Power of Music for Shifting Your State
How to Become “Luckier”
Discovering & Living as Your Authentic Self
Have questions? Ask anything you're wondering about the week's topic—or bring something that's happening in your own life.
Want even more? Stay for 30 minutes of optional breakout conversations and get to know members from around the world, including an Emmy Award-winning producer, a radiologist from the island of Corfu, and someone who was in the room when the human genome was discovered.
We meet virtually Fridays at 9:30 a.m. PT.

The Experience
Part class, part salon, part space to bring the things you're trying to figure out.
What we explore together
Our Relationship with Ourselves
We communicate with ourselves more than anyone else. Learn how to create more peace, ease, and joy for yourself.
Our Relationships with Others
Our relationships are one of the strongest predictors of happiness. Learn how to strengthen yours.
Our Relationship with Life Itself
Two people can live the exact same life and experience it very differently. Learn what makes the difference.
Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D.
Sonja became fascinated by one question: why are some people able to build happier lives, more loving relationships, and a greater sense of meaning—even after setbacks, hardship, or difficult beginnings?
Thirty-six years later, that curiosity has produced some of the most cited research in positive psychology, three bestselling books—The How of Happiness, The Myths of Happiness, and How to Feel Loved—and a body of work that has reached millions of people worldwide.
She doesn’t just share the research. She IS the research. Refreshingly authentic, she’ll tell it to you straight.
Lauren Weinstein
Lauren has spent her career exploring a different question: How does each of us close the gap between how we’re living and what we’re actually capable of?
She’s explored that question through coaching leaders at companies like Google, Apple, and Netflix, teaching at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and her TED Talk, Don’t Believe Everything You Think, which is now approaching 4M views.
What she’s discovered is that the things holding us back are rarely the ones we can see. And when we make the invisible visible, we can begin to live in ways we didn’t even know were possible.
Come for the conversation. Stay because it becomes one of the best parts of your week.
