🧠 Lecture: "How to Be Happier (According to Data)"

🎙️ Speaker: Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy

Join us for an engaging evening as Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy dives into one of life’s biggest questions: how can we actually be happier during our brief spin on planet Earth? Drawing on decades of robust research and surprising new findings, this talk puts philosophy aside and focuses squarely on the numbers.

We’ll explore what large-scale data reveals about the habits, choices, and environments that truly move the needle on happiness—both for individuals and for society as a whole. You’ll leave with evidence-based insights you can start applying right away.

Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D., is a political and data scientist who uses quantitative methods to tackle complex challenges like polarization, misinformation, and democracy. They bring data to life through media and performance, hosting Behind the Data, a podcast about the hidden ways data shapes our lives, and Political Reality, which promotes critical, scientific thinking about politics.
