The Happy planet index!

GDP measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile. by quoting it. Nic Marks unfold his talk about the happy planet index.

Well, it seems that trying to understand everything took us longer but finally we start to understand ourselves. We get lost on measuring everything else except what makes life worthwhile.

I think Happiness is an state of mind. It is a result of love. But happiness need to be nurtured and according to Nic, we can do it by creating a feedback loop.

The elements in this loop are:
  • Connect
  • Be active
  • Take notice
  • Keep learning
  • Give

it does not exist a barometer for happiness but I believe one knows when it happened.

an important distinction(sometimes we confuse them) is that pleasure is different from happiness. The first one is from outside to in and the other from inside to out..
