01About the Summit
For 5,000 years humanity learned to wage war. We are gathering to learn to love life.
Too many people fall asleep unhappy. We say “stop” and, for the first time, bring humanists from different countries together to rethink how we live and agree on what matters: what we need for comfort, what we need for security, and how to raise the happiness index. The outcome is love of life.

Four circles, one outcome
Comfort and security are the ideology. The happiness index is the measure. Love of life is the result.
Comfort
What we need for comfort: home, city, work, relationships — nothing superfluous.
Security
What we need to live without fear: for the family, the city, the country.
Happiness index
How to measure it and raise it — in your own life, your city, your country.
Love of life
The Summit’s outcome: a manifesto and working groups that carry on after it.
