Nic Marks: The Happy Planet Index | Video on TED.com

Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation’s success by its productivity — instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn’t have to cost the earth).

Building on the success of our first “VPanel” — a live four-person, webcam-based dialogue — we’re holding another ground-breaking session and you’re invited to be part of the interactive conversation on our Shared Planet | Social Entrepreneurship.
All of this is inspired by the Future Leaders Study IBM conducted as part of the 2010 CEO Study with 3600 graduate and undergraduate students on the new styles of leadership emerging. Key findings: the Millenial Generation entering the workforce today are focused on the role that sustainability and global thinking will play in business and society in the decades ahead.
