You might have read a blogpost here in which we have explained the need for happiness audit from the level of a personal life to Governments. We also mentioned that Bhutan is the pioneer and only country that has a Happiness Index and it gives more weight to it than the general life indicators like GDP or Life expectancy.
Now there is a call in Britain by Geoff Mulgan, Director of the Young Foundation, and co-author of The State of Happiness report of the Young Foundation and the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA).
Happiness is not on the agenda of the politicians in most parts of the world and Britain is not an exception so far. If Government and politicians listen to the call of Geoff Mulgan, what effects the happiness of private lives may become the basis of public policies in the future.
If this thought process gains momentum and implemented in whatever manner possible, policy decisions will have a basis of people's behaviours, psychology and sociology.
