Measure Your Well-Being


This just came from my colleague, Laurie Nadel:

Measure your own well-being at http://www.nationalaccountsofwellbeing.org/engage/survey.html

This survey comes from the New Economic Forum (UK), Cambridge University Well-Being Institute, and European Social Survey. Answer the questions and it gives you a spider-web shaped chart that is your "well-being" profile. You can compare your profile to people in other countries.

The New Economic Forum wants Parliament and other European governments to consider well-being as an indicator of true wealth...at least as important as the GNP! Seems the rest of the world is moving beyond the US in terms of innovative thinking, eh?
