The Event

The "World Mental Health Report" reveals that nearly one billion people globally had mental disorders in 2019, with 350 million experiencing depression. In China, 95 million people were reported to have depression in 2022. Despite the prevalence of unhappiness, media personality Yang Lan introduced the concept of "Happiness Quotient" in 2009, emphasizing the ability to discover, perceive, create, and share happiness. In her upcoming talk at the Yale Center Beijing on December 2, she will share insights on attaining happiness from her latest book Happiness Quotient and discuss how to cultivate one's happiness quotient in challenging moments.
