We are making the world a happier place
We started in 2010 with the goal of spreading community-based happiness indicator projects around the world. We have worked with hundreds of communities around the world, ranging from neighborhoods, cities and nations to classrooms, campuses and research projects. We have the longest history in the happiness movement working with communities to make the world a happier place.
Our theory of change is that the metrics we use at a societal level to measure success determine our individual values, which in turn determine individual and collective attitudes and behavior (Compton & Kasser 2009; Maani & Cavana 2007). The Happiness Alliance measures quality of life through the Happiness Index, our scientifically validated survey (Musikanski et al. 2017). The Happiness Index accurately reflects individual and community happiness and generates results that reflect quality of life in the circumstances of life that matter: physical health, psychological wellbeing, community and social connection, culture and lifelong learning, connection to nature, government, personal economics, work and time balance.
