Hunting Happiness - Sara Lahey at TEDxNewHaven

Sharp, funny, and vivacious, Sara Lahey won't give up until she puts a smile on your face. Since founding the Hunting Happiness Project in 2010, she has pioneered what she calls a "World Happiness Movement."

Sara's aspiration to create happiness started with childhood reflections on the human condition. At age five she decided that no child should suffer.
Sara studied nursing and political science before discovering her true calling fostering global happiness.

Her "Love'n Aid" campaign is providing free gifts and services, and encouraging people to engage in acts of kindness. This inspirational initiative is contributing to a kinder, happier, and more peaceful world.

Sara was born and raised in Northern California. She adores children, sunshine, scrabble, pancakes and giving high-fives.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
