If money doesn't make you happy, then you probably aren't spending it rightbarrettso
The relationship between money and happiness is surprisingly weak, which may stem in part from the way people spend it. Drawing on empirical research, we propose eight principles designed to help consumers get more happiness for their money. Specifically, we suggest that consumers should buy more experiences and fewer material goods; use their money to benefit others rather than themselves; buy many small pleasures rather than fewer large ones; eschew extended warranties and other forms of overpriced insurance; delay consumption; consider how peripheral features of their purchases may affect their day-to-day lives; beware of comparison shopping; and pay close attention to the happiness of others.
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.
We challenge you to practice gratitude every day for the next year. The research connecting gratitude practices with happiness have been established. Practicing gratitude makes you happier.

Bjørn Grinde, author and researcher, speaks about the links between quality of life, the human brain and intentional communities. During this webinar, he explains what intentional communities are, how he came to research them, and why they are of interest to him for research purposes. He will discuss the trial and joys of conducting research projects with intentional communities, and his findings about quality of life and the human brain, as well as directions for future research.
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.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
