Happiness Visions from the World Happiness Summit (WoHaSu) government track 2017 speakers and participants. See the agenda of this meeting at http://happinesssummit.world/documents/20181/0/H20AgendaFinal2.28.pdf/bb6101ed-cef9-48e3-9abd-997d53fffb37
The document outlines key events in the happiness and well-being movement timeline from 2008 to 2017 including:
1) A French commission called for governments to use wider measures of well-being beyond economic metrics in 2008.
2) Bhutan developed a Gross National Happiness Index and incorporated it into their constitution in 2008.
3) The UN held meetings on defining new economic paradigms focused on well-being and happiness and passed resolutions encouraging member states to measure well-being.
Pathways to Happiness are policy suggestions for communities using the Happiness Index and scoring low in an area. Each one suggests policies and programs for when a community scores low in one area.
How are you feeling? Sometimes it is helpful to know what feelings are to know how you feel. Part one of the Doctor Bliss Doctrine. Dr. Bliss is a medical doctor with over 23 years experience in family practice. He is a 13th generation Bliss in the United States.
The document provides guidance for dealing with depression. It recommends exploring the causes of one's depression, which may involve unresolved grief over losses. It suggests talking with trusted friends or seeking help from mental health professionals. Depression can take many forms and is often interrupted grief that requires fully processing one's feelings. Allowing oneself to feel the full range of emotions around losses, without judgment, is important for overcoming depression and opening oneself to happiness again.

Pathways to Happiness are policy suggestions for communities using the Happiness Index and scoring low in an area. Each one suggests policies and programs for when a community scores low in one area.
These Guidelines have been produced as part of the OECD Better Life Initiative, a pioneering project launched in 2011, with the objective to measure society’s progress across eleven domains of well-being, ranging from jobs, health and housing, through to civic engagement and the environment.
These Guidelines represent the first attempt to provide international recommendations on collecting, publishing, and analysing subjective well-being data. They provide guidance on collecting information on people's evaluations and experiences of life, as well as on collecting “eudaimonic” measures of psychological well-being. The Guidelines also outline why measures of subjective well-being are relevant for monitoring and policy making, and why national statistical agencies have a critical role to play in enhancing the usefulness of existing measures. They identify the best approaches for measuring, in a reliable and consistent way, the various dimensions of subjective well-being, and provide guidance for reporting on such measures. The Guidelines also include a number of prototype survey modules on subjective well-being that national and international agencies can use in their surveys.
Pathways to Happiness are policy suggestions for communities using the Happiness Index and scoring low in an area. Each one suggests policies and programs for when a community scores low in one area.
We asked experts, politicians and academics at the OECD 5th World Forum "Transforming Policy: Changing Lives" to share their ideas of the projects, policies and programs that would help user in a new economic paradigm. Here is what they shared. Now we ask you to tell us your ideas so we can crowdsource a new economy, just society and sustainable future. Email your ideas to happy@happycounts.org
A brief introduction to the Happiness Movement, the Happiness Alliance and how you can use the Gross National Happiness Index, with examples and action items.
This document discusses the limitations of using Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the sole measure of a nation's well-being and progress. It argues that GDP does not account for important factors like environmental protection, community support, health, education, work-life balance, and overall life satisfaction. As an alternative, it presents the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) which was developed in Bhutan and considers multidimensional domains like standard of living, mental well-being, community, environment, and governance. The document outlines how GNH has been measured and applied at the national level in various countries and communities to help guide policymaking and improve citizens' lives in a more holistic way.
Part Three of a blueprint for raising awareness in your city, campus, community or company about the importance of happiness!
Make It Happy partners with The Happiness Initiative to raise awareness of the importance of happiness in our personal lives and for our policy makers.
This document outlines a three-step plan to raise awareness about happiness in Seattle:
Step one involves asking people in public places what makes their city happy and collecting responses on post-its. Over 500 responses were gathered and analyzed.
Step two analyzes the data through word clouds and lists to show which words were most common. The top themes that emerged were community, culture, and social connection.
Step three communicates the results through a panel discussion with videos. The goal is to increase awareness of prioritizing happiness over solely economic measures and advocate for policies that support well-being. The next steps outlined are to measure happiness and make policy recommendations.
This document discusses different aspects of community well-being as it relates to AI and technology. It raises questions about how well-being can be defined and measured, examines domains of happiness, and explores how community is defined and how technology interacts with it. The document advocates for recognizing our shared humanity, establishing rights for all beings including nature and robots, and achieving a balanced symbiosis between technology and humans through systems that mimic nature. It also envisions a future with universal basic income, opportunities for growth, cooperation across communities, and prioritizing well-being over GDP. The reader is asked to share their own visions.
The Happiness Alliance aims to spread happiness to all beings through community, meaningful work, trust in business and government, and a healthy environment. It highlights women leaders in the happiness movement and provides individual happiness scores compared to other survey takers, with the goal of starting a new paradigm where increasing happiness starts from within each individual.

The document summarizes a panel discussion on incorporating happiness into public policy. It discusses the Happiness Policy Handbook, which provides tools for policymakers to measure and promote happiness. The panelists describe policies like supporting happiness data collection, reforming cost-benefit analysis to include well-being, and changing urban planning, education, healthcare and work to focus on relationships and reduce stress. Measuring happiness at a community level and learning from social movements were also discussed.
When the author was young, their mother told them happiness was the key to life. In school, when asked what they wanted to be, they wrote "happy," but teachers said this did not understand the assignment. The author responded that the teachers were the ones who did not understand that happiness is more important than any career or job.
Science tells us good relationships are key to happiness and so is a strong sense of community. Start right next to home by making friends with your neighbors to increase your happiness and the happiness of those around you.
First published in 2014 as part of a peer reviewed essay Happiness in Public Policy (http://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/jsc/vol6/iss1/5/) The policy-screening tool provides 26 factors in the domains of happiness. Policies or projects are rated by the factors that are relevant. Not all factors in the tool will necessarily be relevant. Decision-makers choose which factors to use. Decision-makers may develop other factors not included in the tool. Origins
Kunzang Lhamu, Chief Research Officer of the GNH Commission in Bhutan, worked with the Happiness Alliance, a small nonprofit based in the US to create a hybrid happiness policy screening tool for adaptation and adaption by local governments and agencies in the United States.

This document summarizes a talk about the connections between intentional communities, happiness, and quality of life. It discusses how human behavior and feelings evolved to promote behaviors that help pass on genes, with happiness as an accidental byproduct. Intentional communities may help exercise "good mood apps" in the brain and avoid "bad mood apps" by providing a social structure more aligned with how humans evolved. A study of over 1,000 individuals in 170 intentional communities found high levels of life satisfaction, social support, and other measures of well-being and quality of life. The talk suggests intentional communities provide an environment that may avoid "discords" or mismatches with human nature that can cause mental health problems in modern societies.
The document discusses terminology related to measuring quality of life, well-being, and happiness. It notes that while terminology is still evolving, there is general agreement that these concepts broadly encompass life satisfaction, relationships, purpose, and health. Both objective metrics like life expectancy and subjective surveys are important to get a balanced picture. Common categories of well-being metrics discussed include those from positive psychology, governments, businesses, and crowdsourcing. Key metrics examined include life satisfaction surveys, composites indexes, sustainability reporting, and experience sampling apps.
Slides for the ISQOLS webinar featuring John C. Havens, author of Heartificial Intelligence, and presenter at the ISQOLS 2017 conference, and Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.
The algorithms powering autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence are driving the future of society. Imbued within our cars, companion robots and smart cities, we are becoming a culture of code. The risks and benefits regarding these technologies are largely evaluated through the lens of GDP-focused, exponential growth.
But when robots and algorithms diminish individual agency by making decisions on our behalf, when the liability of their actions becomes too complex to assess or when Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming our jobs, we must question if this will increase or decrease our well-being. Humans can’t thrive unless metrics prioritizing positive mental and emotional health are elevated as key indicators of a flourishing society.
Heartificial Intelligence - the Intersection of Emerging Technology Beyond GDP features John C. Havens, Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems who will describe initial efforts to introduce Beyond GDP metrics into the AI community in an effort to prioritize human wellbeing for the creation and proliferation of these technologies. The goal of The IEEE Global Initiative's work is to invite cross-disciplinary research between technologists, engineers, and the Wellbeing / Happiness community to advance AI and robotics in a way that redefines innovation with a focus on flourishing versus exponential growth.
