This document discusses citizen happiness and how governments and businesses can promote it. It outlines some key building blocks of happiness, including autonomy, competence, relatedness, and self-esteem. Barriers to happiness are also examined, such as fear, confusion, loneliness, and lack of control. The document suggests that in order to promote happiness, these barriers must be addressed or intervened on. It notes that how this relates to businesses and governments will be explored after lunch, and how web 2.0 technologies can be leveraged to create environments that foster happiness.

"I am very happy to be writing an introduction to this inspirational paper on advanced manifestation because not only does it have the power to inspire people to realize the power of their own creatorship but, as Joe discusses, it is in itself the product of inspiration. The words are literally a product of what they are directing the reader towards – ‘Creation by Inspiration’.
"Coming straight from the heart, the words speak directly to the heart; uplifting the reader to feel the simplicity and beauty of creation. To feel the creation within you is to
feel what you are; you are the creator of your own being. To know the power of creation within you is to truly know yourself and that is to know God. This is how a paper on
manifestation is indeed a course for awakening. To awaken your power of creation is to awaken to the miracle of this reality and touch the very essence of your soul. It is to
awaken to the nature of creatorship where reality is something that flows from you, rather than is something that happens to you.
"So in reading these words let go of your mind, which only has the power to create from within the limitations of what it knows, and instead feel the power of inspirational creation within you that these words so divinely point at. Allow yourself to be inspired such that through the energy of that inspiration you can create from the excitement of the unknown, the dreamscape of your imagination, and most importantly the love within your heart."

There’s a new breed of entrepreneur looking to realise their dreams – those that want to succeed in business but also live a happy and balanced life. In this talk I highlighted that more companies should focus on happiness as their primary goal, then watch as profits soar.
Action for Happiness has created a simple 7-day Happiness Challenge based on four simple science-based actions that are proven to have a big impact on people's happiness and wellbeing. Why not give them a try?
We, at Happiitude, in collaboration with Happiness Research team from the University of California, Berkeley, have turned Happiness research into a systematic curriculum for enhancing overall well-being of the students through a series of games and experiential activities. We have also formulated specialized programs for teachers and parents to empower them become effective partners in contributing to the emotional and academic development of their children and in creating a happy and purposeful future for them.
Happiness Workshop I: What Happiness Is and What' Happiness Isn'tmichael_mascolo
Thomas Jefferson was right about a whole lot of things. But the his notion of the "pursuit of happiness" might just be bringing us down the wrong path. What is this elusive happiness that we are so busing pursuing? This presentation explores that happiness is and what happiness isn\'t. Hint: It isn\'t a thing to be pursued.
Do Something Nice: Six Tips for Good Deeds That Take Less Than Five MinutesGretchen Rubin
“Do good, feel good”is one of the great truths of happiness — but you may be thinking, “Sure, good deeds would make me happy, but I barely have time to get through the essentials of my day.I don’t have time to doany good deeds!"
We're at the start of our journey to change the way that startups are built, for the better. We want to give business a better name by creating more purpose-driven companies that measure success in happiness, as well as profits. Our vision is a world with thriving, more sustainable businesses, happier employees and delighted customers.
We strongly believe that if you place happiness at the heart of your business, it will be more successful. Zappos (a $1bn company) and many others have done it and you can too. Follow this path and you'll have a stronger company culture, a more resilient brand and customers that love you so much they'll tell their friends. However putting happiness first doesn't mean that profit isn't important. In fact it's the fuel for your mission, the validation of your purpose. A 21st century business is all about passion, purpose, people and profit – what we call the four pillars of a happy startup.
Here we highlight 10 steps you can take to ensure that your startup journey is a happy one, allowing you to align your personal and career goals, meaning both you and your business should flourish.
It is about concept and significance of positive psychology in the modern world. it also explains techniques positive psychology recommends for attaining happiness and blissful state.

The Job Hunting And Career Success FormulaJonathan Blain
A no-nonsense look at what’s really wrong with Job Hunting and Careers today, how it happened, and how YOU can turn job hunting and career failure into success, despite the tough economic conditions, and your own personal circumstances which might have been holding you back. Plus – why certain people get jobs more easily more than you do, and how you can move rapidly from being unsuccessful at job hunting, to being highly successful!
Metrics are a (big fat) lie (Social Media Camp Panel)Tara Hunt
At the 10th anniversary Social Media Camp event, I led a panel with Fiona Birch, Mike Gingerich and Sean Moffitt, where we discussed how analytics can (and will) trip you up if you don't have your priorities in order. This deck only represents the "how they are a lie" part, not the solutions we discussed, but I thought it would still be pretty good to share.
The Revolution will not be Televised...but if you're lucky, it'll be memed.Tara Hunt
I gave this presentation at CTAM Canada's annual gathering at Corus HQ in Toronto on June 20th. I think it's safe to say that it was a bit...um...controversial.
In order to prepare for this talk, I poured over mutiple reports and studies about the state of the Canadian Media and Entertainment industry. These reports included a lot of hand-wringing over online and American VOD services (Neflix, etc), but really discounted "User-Uploaded Video" (or "User-Generated Content") as largely irrelevant (except for the CRTC, who seems to want to regulate and tax creators).
So...that's what I focused on in here: UGC, including Creators (and online influencers), remix/mashup culture, stans/super fans, and social media content in general.
Three points where I think the audience winced:
1. with the enormous growth in available content, we are seeing a huge appetite for diverse stories - we don't need any more content aimed at white people.
2. the biggest competitors for attention are your own audience, who are no longer "consumers"...they are creators. And there are many of them and growing.
3. stop worrying about people stealing your content. Content isn't where the value lies. Attention is where the value lies. You should be encouraging them to steal! It's free marketing!
I guess I can understand why my message was a little controversial, but I want to help, not hurt.
Your Customer's Journey in the Social EraTara Hunt
I presented this at the United Benefits Advisors' spring conference in May - to answer the question, "Why would benefits advisors use social media?" I presented it like this:
The customer journey is non-linear and unpredictable. It goes online/offline/and more. You need to be on that path in as many places as possible. Social is a good chunk of that now.
Stories in the Social Era - Presenting to CCO Learning Day (Government of Can...Tara Hunt
On February 20, I presented this to a group of Communications Officers in various departments of the Government of Canada. The question presented to me when approached to give this talk was: "How do government services tell effective stories on social?"
My core thesis: They don't. People don't want to be told stories, they want to be involved in making them...especially in the social era.
Understanding the Customer Journey in the Social EraTara Hunt
I spoke at the United Benefit Advisors annual conference in Chicago on September 11/12, 2017, on the subject of how a B2B business (and even a smaller one) can make sense of social.
I tied the idea of social to the customer journey and showed how, along each step of the way, they could engage customers and potential customers with social...not just social media: social content, reviews, social thinking, and more.
The Future of Influence - how the audience, content + media is changing how a...Tara Hunt
In my November 2016 presentation at Ciudad de la Ideas in Mexico, I made the argument that though we are still influenced by the same fundamental things, the way they present themselves is very different. My talk is also up on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF2ZbO0bMok&t=25s
You Gotta Have Personality: how to connect to today’s customer with videoTara Hunt
Delivered at Digital Crossroads in Louisville, Kentucky on October 21, 2016. The core thesis of my presentation is that video is accessible for those who care about their audience (not for those who want a quick win) and, if you care, you should be making video...but only if you are committed to Hub content.

Since the beginning of the social web, marketers have been trying to figure out what it is that creates buzz online? Is it that funny viral YouTube video? Witty real-time twitter banter? A big enough budget on that Facebook video? Kylie Jenner’s instagram?
Well, I’m going to tell you today that it is NONE of those things, but it’s also NOT rocket science.
The biggest factor that will determine how quickly something travels through a network is…

Moving Towards Insights-Driven StrategiesTara Hunt
There are lots of analytics you can pull when you are working with a large audience to determine what people like/don't like, but there is also a lot of behavioural/interest data that can be used to determine what they will respond to as you are planning your strategies. This presentation was given at Inbound 2015 in Boston (September 8-11).

Collaboration and Tales of Digital Culture from the Social@Scale summit by Sp...Tara Hunt
It’s been 10 years since the Web 2.0 conference launched 2004. We were talking MySpace back then as the behemoth, but there were plenty of emerging social tools: Flickr, Delicious, Blogs, Wikis. And I was a beta tester a few years later on a platform called TWTTR that would go on to become the engine of revolutions around the world. I knew it would be big when we experienced our first ‘twitter quake’.
We’re now in an age where it’s pretty much a given that every business needs a social presence. To not have one would be as ludicrous as not having a webpage…or a phone number even. [A stat about the adoption of online - spending, etc]
Year after year, the technology advances. Today, 30% of the world (and 56% of Americans AND Canadians) are on smart phones and that is growing by 20% each year. MySpace was left in Facebook’s wake years ago and who knows what tomorrow’s hot new platform will be.
And as the technology advances, I get really excited, but I also get really worried. Because the technology is moving quickly, but the culture is not. Or, to be clear, there IS a culture - or rather multiple cultures - that have grown and been catalyzed through the democratization of the web, but not everyone understands what is really going on here:
The web isn’t about the tools or the technology, it is about the culture.
There are 5 new rules for Digital Culture:
1. There is no mass.
2. Listening is more valuable than talking
3. When you see a parade, get in front of it!
4. Trust is the most valuable currency. To earn AND give.
5. Invest in the long term.
I gave this on June 3, 2014, in Toronto, ON, Canada at the Social@Scale Summit hosted by Air Canada, organized by Sprinklr
Presented at Mind the Product Conference in London, UK (Sep 27, 2013), I knew this was going to be a hard sell. Often marketers and product managers don't "get along". I wanted to present marketing as part of the product as well as a necessity even for great products.
11 Rules for the Social Era - book by Nilofer MerchantTara Hunt
The era of social technologies provides seemingly endless opportunity, both for individuals and organizations. But it’s also the subject of seemingly endless hype.

The Sinners & Saints of Social (retail version)Tara Hunt
I'll be giving a shorter version of this presentation at the Raymark Retailers luncheon in New York next week, but I wanted to post it earlier. It's the culmination of much of my recent work and research. Let me know if you have more examples (or better ones) and if I missed anything.
The Social Retailer: what ‘social’ means for the future of commerceTara Hunt
Most retailers are having a tough enough time keeping their inventory fresh and up to date, let alone trying to figure out how to leverage the newest, latest, greatest social platform for reaching potential customers. The good news is that leveraging the social web isn't about hopping on the newest, latest, greatest social platform. It's about thinking about your business - internally and externally - as a social organization. And what does that mean? Tara Hunt, one of the pioneers of the social web will talk about how to become a social organization without having to keep up with Twitter and how harnessing the innate socialness of the web can help you connect with your customers and build your business.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
