The Happy Planet Index

March 25, 2007 on 4:37 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

We’d be better off if we concentrated on our Gross Happiness Index rather than the Gross National Product Index. What’s your HPI? My personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 58.1, which Happy Planet says is similar to that of countries such as Seychelles, Indonesia or Tonga. This is above the world average of 46, but still below the target value of 83, so there is more I can do to improve my health and well-being, or reduce my environmental impact. My score is above that of my country, 28.8.
