Prof Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, Director of the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, appeared before California State Assembly’s Select Committee on Happiness & Public Policy Outcomes in May.

He shared data on the state of wellbeing in California, including a county-by-county breakdown of the ‘happiest’ counties in the state, as well as answered policymakers’ questions on wellbeing outcomes and the practicalities of creating a wellbeing-first policy approach.
