Happiness Indicators or Subjective Wellbeing Indicators tell where people perceive themselves to be hurting and thriving. The Happiness Initiative is the only social cause 501(c)3 offering an internally and externally validated subjective indicator of wellbeing based on Bhutan’s GNH that is available for anyone to use at any scale. This is a deeply grassroots project – and the point is to use the GNH subjective indicator to motivate and inspire people and move the conversation and culture to happiness. We can issue anyone a unique code (and results once a group has taken the survey) with a hyperlink so they can use this in their work.
