Abstract

It has been an honour and pleasure to come to know Emeritus-Professor Ruut Veenhoven through the International Society for Quality of Life Studies (ISQOLS). Thinking back over the many encounters we had at various scientific conferences, meetings and events and also, progressive stages of development in my academic journey on happiness research and promotion, three occasions always feature most strongly in my memory.
