Free Marwan Barghouti – Open Letter of Academics In July 2025, we are all shattered by the pictures and information from Gaza, and we have the impression that there is little that academia is able to do. Numerous calls for peace seem powerle…

In a letter just published in the French newspaper Le Monde, I've joined other prominent academics in calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian leader - from Fatah, not Hamas - who has been in Israeli prisons since 2002.

By simply tracking whether symptoms are better or worse and asking why, patients become more engaged, more observant, and often feel better. That small act of mindful noticing, repeated over time, can make a real difference.

We often think of chronic illness as fixed; something we can’t influence. But as psychologist Ellen Langer explains in our latest “Lives Well Lived” episode, that belief can limit us unnecessarily.

Profit For Good Conference 2025
On June 11, I joined nearly 200 business leaders, social entrepreneurs, and others committed to using their resources to do the most good, at the first Profit for Good Conference in Amsterdam. We came together around a simple but radical idea: that business, done differently, can be a powerful force for reducing suffering and improving lives. The next step is to build the Profit for Good Coalition, a network of business leaders who are ready to align their profits with their moral values, and to act on the evidence about how best to help others. Members of the coalition will learn from experts in effective giving and ethical governance, support each other in making bold decisions, and help shape a new norm for what business can—and should—be. If you're a business leader ready to rethink capitalism and direct your profits toward doing good, I encourage you to get involved. Profit For Good Conference 2025

It was a day full of moral ambition and practical examples, from Who Gives a Crap’s toilet livestream to Humanitix’s US$11 million in donations.

Open Rescue focused on moral clarity, entering farms openly, documenting suffering, and helping individual animals. In our latest podcast episode, Wayne Hsiung explains how this movement harnesses a basic human response: when we see a being in pain, we want that pain to stop.

Open Rescue was pioneered by Patty Mark in Australia in the 1980s, to expose the cruelty of factory farming. Patty was leading Animal Liberation, not to be confused with the Animal Liberation Front, which sought to inflict economic damage. youtube.com/shorts/S4_Vm...

We discuss how Bhutan’s unique approach to leadership, solidarity, and public trust made this possible, as well as the country’s philosophy of Gross National Happiness, its free universal healthcare, and what it means to build a society centred on wellbeing rather than wealth.

As Dasho Dechen Wangmo explains in our latest episode of “Lives Well Lived”, Bhutan doesn’t just ask “what makes me happy?” They ask, “what makes us happy?” Free education, universal healthcare, clean air, trust in institutions: these are the metrics that matter.

How do you measure happiness?

In Bhutan, Gross National Happiness is more than a philosophy - it’s a policy tool. Every new initiative is screened not just for economic impact, but for how it supports wellbeing, environmental sustainability, spiritual values, and cultural preservation.
