Addressing happiness is always a difficult challenge. The experts who took part in our event at the Roma Tre University were faced with the complexity of defining it because it is ambiguous, broad, and often even paradoxical.

We are delighted to announce the international launch of our latest book 'Happiness & Domestic Life', next Thursday 1st December in Rome. Professor and philosopher María Teresa Russo, chief editor of the publication, leads the event at the Università Roma Tre, Via del Castro Pretorio 20 in room P2.

Last week, the weekly magazine Alfa y Omega, which is distributed every Thursday with the Spanish national newspaper ABC, published this article by our communications officer. Here you can read it in English and Spanish.

Two weeks ago, we enjoyed an excellent session on happy societies and happy homes with philosopher and professor, Maria Teresa Russo. As the editor of our latest book ‘Happiness and Domestic Life‘ she reviewed the different disciplines that meet in this book, which is a group work of 14 academics from universities around the world.

As usual, our Chairman highlights some of the milestones of these last months. New publication, launches, Experts Meeting in Washington... Do not miss it!

This coming Thursday 6 October we will have the honour of presenting our latest book Happiness and Domestic Life in Argentina. The association MIF, Mujeres Independientes y Federales have invited the professor and philosopher Maria Teresa Russo and the head of Communication of HRF to a round table discussion on the relationship between homes and society and its direct effect in terms of happiness.

On 22 and 23 September, we convened a group of experts at the Catholic University of America to discuss home and displaced people. It is a reality that affects millions of people who suffer uprooting when they are forced to leave their countries and start a new life elsewhere. On the table are real stories of migrants and refugees from around the world. Here a summary.

Forgive me for personalising this post so much, but I find myself in a life situation that truly reflects the focus of our forthcoming book ‘Happiness and Domestic Life‘ already on sale, and one that speaks to the focus of our next Experts Meeting ‘The Home and Displaced People‘ that we will be holding in Washington in September at the Catholic University of America.

As we reach the midpoint of the year and summer holidays approach for many of us, our Chairman highlights some of the milestones of these last months. We trust you have a good rest!

We are delighted to announce that we have a new book "Happiness and Domestic Life". In a month this will be on pre-sale and at the end of August, the prestigious publisher Routledge will start shipping. We are already working on the launches, in the meantime, you can see here its table of contents.
