Earth Institute publishes first ever World Happiness Report (Wired UK)
The first ever World Happiness Report has been made public and states that our best chance at a contented life is to pack up and move to Scandinavia. Published by The Earth Institute at Columbia University and co-edited by its director, the report was commissioned for a United Nations conference on happiness. The report collated data from several different happiness measurement exercises worldwide to create a "life evaluation score", which took in not just wealth but also social factors such as political freedom, strong social networks and an absence of corruption as well as personal criteria including good mental and physical health, someone to count on, job security and having a stable family life. The sources include the Gallup World Poll (GWP), the World Values Survey (WVS), the European Values Survey (EVS), and the European Social Survey (ESS).World Happiness Report

Oxford Happiness Questionnaire
In the form you’ll find the The Oxford Happiness Inventory developed by Michael Argyle (2001).
There are a number of psychometric tests measuring happiness. Some are as simple as asking are you happy. Others measure a number of other factors. I like this test best. For two reasons.
One, it’s reliability and validity. This is important from a scientific viewpoint to ensure the test is measuring what it says it is – and with some accuracy. Two, the way that it defines happiness as a stable and enduring trait, as opposed to a moment to moment sensation, which will vary depending on your current mood. by Mar 18

Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation's success by its productivity -- instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn't have to cost the earth). by Sep 5


Stellen wir uns vor, an jedem Tag würde ein winziges Quantum mehr Liebe, Vernunft, Klugheit aufscheinen. Menschen würden sich eine Spur aufmerksamer behandeln. Liebende würden eine Nuance liebevoller miteinander umgehen. Bürger würden sich ein winziges Stück weit kooperativer untereinander verhalten. ....
