In this special bonus episode, recorded during the excitement of this year’s World Happiness Summit in London, host Sarah Cunningham is joined by CEO of WOHASU, Founder of the World Happiness Summit, and newly published author, Karen Guggenheim.

After the sudden death of her husband in 2013, Karen made the inspiring decision to choose happiness, and began her journey to overcome trauma and positively transform her life. She studied happiness science from the world-leading experts, and decided her personal path to a state of happiness and wellbeing would be through meaning and purpose. Then she went one step further and decided to help others positively transform their lives...

And that is how the World Happiness Summit was created, with the first Summit taking place in Miami in 2017. The annual Summit brings together world-leading wellbeing experts to share their insights with the audience, spreading the science of happiness globally.

Now, listen to Karen share a behind the scenes peek from the World Happiness Summit in London, and share her personal story. Karen also reflects on the launch of her recent book: Cultivating Happiness – a practical and accessible guide to overcoming trauma and positively transforming your life.
