You've read them. You've listened. You've been inspired.
But inspiration without practice fades.
Elevate is where ideas become lived experience — through conversation, reflection, and practice, week after week.
Books. Podcasts. TED Talks.
Grounded in the world's leading research. Brought to life every week.
Sonja Lyubomirsky has spent 36 years at the forefront of research on how humans thrive. She knows this field — what's rigorous, what's meaningful, and what's actually worth your time. Every session draws on the best of that science in ways that meaningfully change your life.
Lauren Weinstein’s gift is translation. A Stanford instructor and executive coach to leaders at Google, Apple, Netflix, and more. She takes the research and makes it practical and immediately usable — through storytelling, coaching, and the kind of engagement that makes ideas stick.
Together they bring you something rare: the world's leading research on life's most important skills made vivid and immediately usable.

The Membership
Elevate is a weekly space to learn and practice life's most important skills — the ones that shape how you feel, perform, and relate in every room you walk into.
Each session focuses on one science-backed skill you can start using immediately.
The insights compound over time — and so does the change.
Sessions are 30 minutes, every Friday at 9:30am PT. Recordings always available.
Stay for an unrecorded bonus 30 minutes of live coaching and community at 10am for those who want to go deeper.
When you join live, you'll be part of a community of thoughtful, curious people who show up honestly and push each other to grow.
Founder member pricing starting at $47/month. Month to month. Cancel anytime.
What you get
-
One powerful skill each week.
Sonja shares the research, Lauren brings it to life — through teaching, coaching, and real conversation. Leave every session with something concrete you can use immediately.
-
Immediately following at 10am PT, join us for an optional unrecorded 30 minutes of live coaching and real conversation. Ask anything, share what's coming up for you, and keep the learning going. Almost everyone stays.
-
Can’t make it live? Every teaching session is recorded. But the recording library goes beyond catch-up — it's a resource you can return to when a specific challenge comes up in your life.
Need help with a difficult conversation? Struggling with self-doubt? The answer is probably already in the library.
-
A growing collection of articles, research, and talks that go deeper on the skills we explore. For the curious members who want more.
-
Elevate attracts a specific kind of person — intellectually curious, growth-oriented, and genuinely committed to living well. People who ask thoughtful questions and show up honestly. The conversation inside this community is part of the learning.
-
A simple way to track where you are and watch yourself grow over time. Because change is easier to sustain when you can see it.

Research on lasting change points to three things that actually move the needle:
Consistency — Small practices repeated over time rewire how we think, feel, and respond. Not because of any single session, but because of all of them together.
Engagement — Passive learning fades. When you actively engage with an idea by discussing it, applying it, and returning to it, it becomes part of how you actually think and live.
Accountability — We change faster and more durably in community. Knowing others are on the same path, and showing up for them as much as yourself, is one of the strongest predictors of lasting change.
Elevate is built around all three. Because that's what the research shows actually works.
Why small and consistent beats big and occasional
Meet Sonja and Lauren
-
Sonja didn't set out to study happiness. She set out to answer a question that wouldn't leave her alone: why are some people able to thrive no matter what life throws at them — and others aren't? Thirty-six years later, that question has produced some of the most cited research in 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.
-
Lauren spent years watching the same pattern repeat: the smartest, most driven people in the room — executives at the world's top companies, leaders with every advantage — still struggling with their inner critic, their relationships, and the gap between how they want to show up and how they actually do. That sent her deep into understanding why we get in our own way — and how we find our way back. It's a question she's explored through coaching, through teaching at Stanford, and through her TED Talk Don't Believe Everything You Think, which is approaching 4 million views. What she's seen again and again: we are capable of so much more than we realize in our relationships with ourselves and others — and the path there is often just a few key shifts away.
