This document discusses well-being and happiness. It notes that GDP only measures economic outputs and does not account for social and environmental factors that influence well-being. Alternative indicators like the Genuine Progress Indicator and Canadian Index of Well-Being have been developed to measure well-being. Subjective surveys also measure reported levels of happiness. Happiness is determined by various domains like health, social support, community, education, environment and work-life balance. The document advocates taking a survey to identify low scores and taking action, like limiting work hours, to improve one's well-being.

Well-being policies. An unfulfilled promise? by Jasper Bergink, Foro Bienesta...
The presentation aims to provide policymakers with keys to integrate well-being and happiness in public policy. I make three suggestions to policymakers: i) to measure well-being to inform public policy; ii) to actively advance well-being (as a challenge to GDP) as a political agenda; and iii) to pay attention to the happiness at work of government staff.
I presented these slides under the title "Well-being policies. An unfulfilled promise" at the Foro Bienestar y Desarrollo (Well-being and Development Forum). The Foro was organised by the government of the region of Jalisco in Guadalajara, Mexico, from 24-26 November 2014.
I am an independent researcher and blogger specialising in happiness and well-being. Previously, I delivered a TEDx talk with the title ‘For A State of Happiness’ at TEDxLuxembourgCity. I edit a blog with the same name (www.forastateofhappiness.com). The blog is dedicated to the discovery of intuitive and scientific knowledge about happiness and well-being. Through my explorations, I want to help people, societies and states achieve their own State of Happiness.

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.Happiness and well-being.

This presentation was prepared for a conference in Brussels, organised by the Danish Embassy in Belgium and the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy on 4 June 2015. The title of the conference was 'Beyond GDP. Why Happiness is Good Policy'.

This document summarizes a joint project between seven Swedish regions and two national institutes regarding public health and regional growth. The project aims to foster cooperation rather than competition between those working in public health and economic development. It recognizes that public health and economic growth are interdependent and that indicators beyond GDP are needed to measure true societal progress. The document recommends integrating public health goals into regional development programs and sharing knowledge and experiences between sectors to achieve sustainable development.

The document discusses Gross National Happiness and the happiness movement. It introduces Gross National Happiness as a new measurement for economic policy that focuses on well-being, sustainability, and happiness rather than solely GDP. Several countries have adopted Gross National Happiness as a policy measure. The happiness movement aims to increase happiness through community initiatives and use of the Gross National Happiness Index survey tool.

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.A two circuit approach to Economic Development
This document proposes a two-circuit approach to economic development that considers both economic and social values. It critiques standard economic models for being too focused on profit maximization. The two-circuit diagram shows the economy alternating between phases of surplus expansion, basic expansion, and a stationary state. This approach aims to balance concerns like community well-being and environmental sustainability with an understanding of economic processes.

GDP is not an accurate measure of happiness. While GDP has increased significantly since the 1950s in the US, happiness levels have remained stagnate or decreased. Studies show that beyond $75k annual income, more money does little to increase long-term happiness. Countries like Bhutan prioritize Gross National Happiness over GDP by focusing on environmental protection, social programs, and well-being. Small daily actions like gratitude, giving, and compassion can increase personal happiness.Beyond GDP Stewart- Wallis-nef-22feb-2012

The positive impact of Wellness on society and economic development
The document discusses the positive impact of wellness on society and economic development. It defines health capital as the health of a society's people and what is being done to improve health at individual, local and global levels. Modern lifestyles often negatively impact health, decreasing productivity and hampering economic growth. However, even small improvements in habits can have major health benefits. Studies show the wellness industry, focused on health prevention, is growing faster and larger than the pharmaceutical industry. Serbia is also developing its wellness industry to increase productivity and economic and societal development.

What’s wrong with gdp
GDP measures the total market value of goods and services produced in a country each year, serving as an indicator of economic activity. However, GDP was not designed to measure social or economic welfare. It fails to account for externalities like environmental and social impacts. Alternative measures have been proposed that take a more holistic view, considering factors like life expectancy, education, income inequality, environmental footprint, and subjective well-being. While GDP provides useful data, a combination of economic, social, and environmental indicators is needed for a complete picture of a nation's progress.

Prioritizing Happiness
All of us like to be happy, yet how many of us prioritize work based on happiness? Consider the people who buy, use, sell or make your product/service. Are you focused on making all of them happy?
When I reflect on a large Agile eLearning deal my company did with our biggest client between 2009-2010, it’s clear that we over-prioritized the happiness of some individuals while under-prioritizing the happiness of others. The smaller deals we are now doing with this same client in 2011 reveal the importance of prioritizing happiness across the entire community of people involved with our product.
Prioritizing happiness has helped us expand our focus and discover work that really matters. In this talk, I’ll describe how prioritizing happiness can have a profound impact on your process, your people and your bottom line.
Happiness indicators
This document discusses different approaches to measuring happiness and well-being across countries and organizations. It describes Gross National Happiness, which uses surveys to measure quality of life in Bhutan. The OECD Better Life Index assigns importance to 11 categories that are essential to well-being, such as health, education, and work-life balance. The UK also officially monitors happiness by surveying citizens on their life satisfaction, happiness, anxiety levels, and the worthwhileness of their lives. The overall goal of these measures is to systematically track subjective well-being and inform policy decisions.

The document discusses the concepts of well-being and happiness. It summarizes research conducted in Bolton, UK in 1938 and again in 2014 measuring factors important for happiness. The three most important factors in 1938 were security, knowledge, and religion, while in 2014 they were security, good humor, and equality. The document also discusses various definitions and approaches to measuring well-being.Measuring people's wellbeing: the BCFN Index
The discussion about the need to broaden the horizon of indicators for the governance of society and the economy, in particular for the measurement of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), has been going on for some time, and has recently aroused a widespread process of reflection. It has by now been largely demonstrated how economic analyses based exclusively on the GDP can often be misleading.
The goal of the work performed by the BCFN on this subject is therefore that of including and evaluating, within a multidimensional index for the measurement and comparison of the level of well-being of the people in a selected group of developed countries, the element connected with the diet and lifestyles.

It outlines several major happiness measures used internationally and within countries to gauge subjective well-being at the national, regional, and individual level. These include Bhutan's Gross National Happiness Index, the Gallup Healthways Poll/Well-being Index in the US, the Gallup World Poll, the OECD Better Life Index, and the New Economics Foundation's Happy Planet Index. It encourages learning about these different measures to raise awareness of how happiness can be quantified and used to inform policymaking and guide communities toward greater well-being.Architecting Happiness

Should our policies be aimed at improving
The document discusses factors that determine quality of life, including wealth, employment, environment, health, education, recreation, social well-being, freedom, and happiness. It argues that policies should aim to improve quality of life, which can be measured by factors like these. Quality of life indicates the general well-being of people and societies. Improving quality of life through policies focused on these factors can help achieve sustainable development.

Wellbeing and Happiness - an introduction
This presentation was given by Mark Williamson, Director of Action for Happiness on Tues 23 Aug 2011.
It was part of a British Council workshop on the theme of Wellbeing involving young social and political activists from the UK and the Middle East.
It gives an overview of why wellbeing is important and the political context, summarises some important recent scientific findings relating to happiness and suggests some actions that governments and individuals can take to help create a happier society.
Seminar 2
The document discusses various indicators and measurement indices used to assess quality of life and national development. It describes how quality of life refers to well-being and human needs satisfaction. Development encompasses both economic and human resource development. Common economic indicators like GDP have limitations, so development is best measured using a variety of social, economic, and environmental indices. Examples of composite indices discussed are the Human Development Index, Human Poverty Indices, and Gender Empowerment Measure.
Measuring a Societys Progress All societies seek to creat
Measuring a Society's Progress
All societies seek to create wellbeing for individuals. The question is not whether societies desire
welfare or not. The fundamental questions are: What does wellbeing mean? How do we measure
it? And how do we use indicators to organize society and its institutions to maximize wellbeing?
Answering these complex questions is a challenging endeavor, especially given the diversity of
values and worldviews around the globe. However, at the center of the essential questions of
development and progress lie the indicators we use as a society to measure wellbeing and
develop policies. As Hazel Henderson, futurist and evolutionary economist, said, "Statistical
indicators are the structural DNA codes of nations. They reflect a society's values and goals and
become the key drivers of economic and technological choices" (as cited in Salvaris, 2007).
Indicators reveal particular information about society and should embody values that people care
about, or at least should care about. Therefore, if indicators are to drive the policies that push
society in a genuine direction of progress, they should adequately measure wellbeing and
progress.
What does GDP Measure?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was developed in the United States to manage the Great
Depression (1929 – early 1940s) and the wartime economy. It is simply a measure of how much
money is exchanging hands, a measure of a country's output in a given year. It was never
developed as a measure of social wellbeing or progress. In 2009, Jon Hall, former head of the
Global Project on Measuring the Progress of Societies at the Organisation for Economic Co-
Operation and Development (OECD), noted, "Somehow, over the last 30-40 years, GDP has
been seen as a measure of progress although it was never developed for that purpose… If GDP
was going up, then everything was fine in our society. GDP has been guiding institutions and
politics. We need to say, 'No, GDP is not a measure of progress.' It is one measure of progress
perhaps, but there are many other things to think about." Expert and professor of political science
at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Surat Horachaikul added, "How can we summarize
something as complex as the progress and wellbeing of society in one single number like GDP?
GDP fails to capture many of the components of a true wellbeing society" (personal
communication, July 15, 2009).
Over the years, the world has developed what Joseph Stiglitz, Professor of Economics, Columbia
University, calls "GDP fetishism," a dogmatic fixation on GDP as a measure of progress. As a
result, institutions and policies have revolved around maximizing GDP with little regard for what
that means for individuals' standard of living and for social and environmental wellbeing.
Alternatives to GDP
If GDP is not an appropriate measure of wellbeing and progress, then what is? Questioning GDP
means asking the quest ...

IRJET- “Happiness Index”– The Footsteps Towards Sustainable Development
This document discusses measuring happiness and well-being through happiness indexes. It provides background on Bhutan's Gross National Happiness index and efforts to quantify happiness in other countries and cultures. The document then examines methods that can be used to measure happiness indexes, including surveying populations, using a Delphi approach to identify well-being indicators, and modeling indexes after the Human Development Index. Key domains of happiness measured include psychological well-being, health, community, education, and the environment. The document concludes that happiness indexes are useful tools for communities and policymakers to evaluate well-being and guide decisions to enhance quality of life and sustainability.
A New Indicator Of Social Welfare: A Citizen Centered and Open Data Oriented ...
This document proposes a new indicator of social welfare called the Index of Social Welfare. It is designed to be citizen-centered and utilize open data. The index is composed of 10 pillars and 17 sub-indices that measure both objective factors like percentage of GDP spent on social benefits, and subjective factors based on citizen satisfaction surveys. Data is drawn from trusted international organizations. Sample calculations show the index values for 4 countries in 2015 and trends for Greece from 2012-2015. The authors conclude the index can help quantify both qualitative and quantitative aspects of social welfare in a way that is dynamic, utilizes open data, and can be calculated for many countries.
Overview of Wellbeing Definitions & Drivers
Delivered by Nancy Hey, Director of the What Works Centre for Wellbeing at a Local Authorities evidence and wellbeing workshop in September 2018.
The presentation covers:
What wellbeing is, how its defined and measured and why it matters
The link between wellbeing, a fairer society and making the economic case for prevention
Key factors that influence wellbeing building on the UK’s world-leading science
How wellbeing can be a powerful tool for public health and as a public health outcome in its own right
Economics and human well being
This document discusses and analyzes several indices used to measure countries' economic development and human well-being: GDP, HDI, SPI, and HPI. It provides an overview of each index and where Mexico ranks. The document concludes that while all the indices are useful, HDI is the most complete because it considers factors like life expectancy, education, and standard of living that truly define a country's quality of life. Improving according to HDI indices would likely improve rankings in other areas as well. Collaboration across society is needed for countries to continuously develop and provide higher standards of living.
PH_MH_&_Happiness_Stuckelberger_Aug2014
The document discusses public mental health and happiness from various perspectives. It begins by summarizing two UN reports on happiness from 2012 and 2013 that call for policymakers to measure happiness and well-being. Several studies and measures of happiness are then outlined, including factors like mental health, life satisfaction, and societal measures. Concepts of mental health and happiness are defined and models for conceptualizing them from a biopsychosocial perspective are presented. Various ways of measuring well-being and happiness through surveys, scales, and new technologies that track daily experiences are also described.
Gross National Happiness Index Methodology
This paper is submitted for publication.
The Happiness Alliance’s Gross National Happiness Index is a subjective measure of well-being provided online by the not-for-profit, the Happiness Alliance. This paper documents the methodology for developing the questionnaire and the sources for each question within the questionnaire. The questionnaire has gone through four rounds. The construction of the survey by San Francisco State University’s Personality and Well-Being Laboratory was the first round. The subsequent rounds eliminated or changed questions. This paper explains the process and purpose for each round. The second section lists each question in the forth round, the source for each question as well as examples of other questionnaires using the same or similar questions. The third section identified twenty areas for
768_Concept_of_health_and_disease.pptx
This document discusses the concepts of health, disease, and well-being. It begins by exploring definitions of health, including the WHO's definition of health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. The document then examines changing models of health from the biomedical to holistic. It outlines the various dimensions of health, including physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual. Finally, the document defines well-being as having both objective and subjective components, and discusses indices used to measure population health and quality of life, such as the Physical Quality of Life Index, Human Development Index, and Human Poverty Index.
National Accounts of Well-being
National Accounts of Well-being presents a framework for measuring national well-being that goes beyond traditional economic indicators like GDP. It recommends that governments regularly collect data on citizens' subjective well-being, including their experiences, feelings, and perceptions of how their lives are going. This data would be published as National Accounts of Well-being. The framework includes measures of personal well-being, like positive emotions and life satisfaction, and social well-being, like supportive relationships and trust. Analysis of survey data from 22 European countries found that levels of personal and social well-being varied between countries in unexpected ways. National Accounts of Well-being could provide a more holistic view of societal progress and a more informative approach for policymaking
Concept_of_health_and_disease.pptx by Dr.Madhu
The document discusses the concepts of health and disease. It outlines how definitions of health have changed over time from the biomedical concept of health as the absence of disease to more holistic concepts that include social, psychological, and environmental factors. The document also discusses the various dimensions of health including physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual health. It defines well-being as having both objective and subjective components, with the objective including standard of living and level of living, and the subjective being quality of life and overall life satisfaction. Various indices for measuring health and well-being are also presented, such as the Physical Quality of Life Index, Human Development Index, and Human Poverty Index.

Sustainable happiness connecting waste and wellbeing - Report from the Happin...The Happiness Alliance - home of the Happiness Index
In a new report from the Happiness Research Institute - a Danish think tank exploring why some societies are happier than others. The report "Sustainable Happiness - why waste prevention may lead to an increase in quality of life?" explores the link.
Happiness Research Institute is at: www.happinessresearchinstitute.com/Novacroft_Thought_Paper_WELL_BEING
Wellbeing has become an important policy consideration as research shows its benefits. Higher individual wellbeing is associated with better physical and mental health, longer life expectancy, higher productivity, income and employment, and more prosocial behaviors like volunteering. A growing body of longitudinal studies provide evidence that high wellbeing causes these positive outcomes, not just correlates with them. This suggests wellbeing promotes a virtuous cycle where happier, healthier people build stronger communities and societies.

Abe gong - Using force multipliers for willpower
The document discusses how willpower does not scale effectively and proposes using "force multipliers" instead, such as engineering habits and environment, to shape behaviors for good. New technologies allow habits to be personalized, socially integrated, contextually aware, and integrated into everyday life, providing tools to shape habits and multiply good behaviors.
Julia galef sphexyness
The document discusses trigger-action plans (TAPs) as a way to change unwanted behaviors and habits. It explains that people often automatically follow trigger-response patterns, even when unhelpful, like eating all the cheetos after seeing the bag. TAPs involve identifying a trigger, like an alarm going off, and planning a new, preferred action in response, like getting out of bed instead of hitting snooze. Forming effective TAPs requires making the planned action natural, easy to perform, and unambiguously specified. The document provides examples of TAPs and tips for debugging TAPs if the planned response fails to occur as intended.
James norris using technology to upgrade yourself
This document outlines various areas of life where technology can be used to upgrade oneself, including nutrition, fitness, sleep, mental wellbeing, cognitive abilities, career, finance, productivity, relationships, appearance, and spirituality. It cautions that while fantasy and hype exist, tools should be evaluated based on efficacy, ease of use, and evidence before being incorporated into one's goals and daily routine.
Aubrey de grey why you're helpless now but not for long
This document discusses aging and age-related diseases. It notes that while infectious diseases have been prevented through sanitation, vaccines, antibiotics, and carrier control, age-related diseases have not. It describes aging as the lifelong accumulation of damage to tissues, cells, and molecules in the body from normal metabolic processes. This damage cannot be automatically reversed by the body and leads to disease and disability when too much damage accumulates. The document advocates for a maintenance approach to treating aging by repairing and preventing further damage as a way to significantly extend healthy lifespans. It provides examples of research into specific maintenance therapies and argues this approach could eliminate most age-related diseases.
Adam bornstein the end of dieting
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on moving beyond dieting to a simpler approach to eating and nutrition. Some of the main ideas discussed include:
1) Diets are often the problem, not the solution, and most people who diet regain the weight they lose.
2) A variety of diet approaches were analyzed in a Yale meta-analysis but no single diet was clearly superior for sustainable weight loss.
3) A better approach is focusing on small, positive changes like eating more protein and vegetables at meals, delegating tasks to preserve willpower, and having realistic expectations about weight loss.
4) The presenter suggests trying a "30 Days to Awesome" program with very easy

Crazy Supplements: Paul Hammann Feb 1, 2014
The document discusses the author's experience with elevated liver enzymes and their journey to identify supplements to support liver health. They initially ignored high AST and ALT levels, but further testing still showed issues. Research led them to identify fatty liver as a potential cause and to start supplements like liposomal glutathione, vitamins C and D, and N-acetylcysteine to increase glutathione production and support liver function. They now take a wide range of supplements aimed at cognitive function, energy, inflammation, hormones and more. Resources are provided for further information.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Adhd Medication Shortage Uk - trinexpharmacy.com

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
