Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile

What we count is as important as the amount we count

Chip Conley speaks at the TED conference

Great refresher course on Abraham Maslow and how he might have changed his pyramid had he lived longer:

We’ve been using metrics that count the lowest levels of Maslow Hierarchy rather than the things that really matter to most of us today.

We only can manage what we measure.. so let’s measure what is really important

What should we be measuring Gross National Happiness (GNS)?

please leave a comment with what you think matters.. and how to count it

Lasting happiness can be found in things like: service, hard work and a desire to better those around me. The more selfless service one gives – the more happiness can be measured. Service born from sincere love. Maybe the Gross National Happiness counter/index could ask, “Did you serve someone today with no thought of reward or return?”
