So much of what shapes the quality of our lives can be learned and strengthened. But we rarely know where to focus—or have the structure to put it into practice.
Elevate is here to change that.
What is Elevate?
We created Elevate because we wanted a place for the kinds of conversations we love having—about the science of happiness, the messiness of being human, and ancient wisdom applied to modern life.
Each week, we explore a different question: What creates exceptional relationships? What is charisma, and can it be learned? How do we move forward when we doubt ourselves? How can I become a more effective communicator?
Our global community is just as fascinating as the questions we explore—from an Emmy-winning producer and a scientist who was in the room when the human genome was sequenced to a Silicon Valley venture capitalist and a radiologist calling in from the island of Corfu.
We meet virtually Fridays at 9:30 a.m. PT for 30 minutes to explore a new question, with time for Q&A, followed by optional 30 minutes of partner conversations and group discussion.

The Experience
Part class, part salon, part the best Friday morning you’ve had in a while.
What we explore together
Connection with Yourself
How you relate to yourself—your beliefs, your emotions, your inner dialogue, and your ability to experience more joy, peace, and ease in everyday life.
Connection with Others
How you relate to the people in your life—how loved and understood you feel, how you navigate conflict, and your ability to communicate in ways that actually land.
Connection with Life
How you relate to life itself—awe, gratitude, meaning, purpose, and the practices that expand your perspective and deepen your experience of being alive.
Sonja Lyubomirsky
Sonja became fascinated by one question: why are some people able to build happier lives, more loving relationships, and a greater sense of meaning—even after setbacks, hardship, or difficult beginnings?
Thirty-six years later, that curiosity has produced some of the most cited research in positive psychology, three bestselling books—The How of Happiness, The Myths of Happiness, and How to Feel Loved—and a body of work that has reached millions of people worldwide.
She doesn’t just share the research. She IS the research. Refreshingly authentic, she’ll tell it to you straight.
Lauren Weinstein
Lauren has spent her career exploring a different question: How does each of us close the gap between how we’re living and what we’re actually capable of?
She’s explored that question through coaching leaders at companies like Google, Apple, and Netflix, teaching at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and her TED Talk, Don’t Believe Everything You Think, which is now approaching 4M views.
What she’s discovered is that the things holding us back are rarely the ones we can see. And when we make the invisible visible, we can begin to live in ways we didn’t even know were possible.
Where science meets the human experience—and small changes create surprising results.
