Gross Domestic Happiness

Let’s start measuring it. You can read a nice synopsis of the report here or download the full document in pdf form here.

So what now? To be honest, I’m not exactly sure. I think we have to wait and see how the idea actually gets implemented, or even if it does. I expect France will be the first to publish reports that include the new measurement, though I’m not sure when that will happen. The key is for the measurement to prove it’s worth. I’m excited to see what kind of analysis we can draw from the first published reports.
