If you liked this talk, have a listen to some of Jacque Fresco's philosophies.
It's along these lines.

@gbiota1 What I am talking about is a more individual philosophy. A personal creed of sorts. I am not to impose my understanding of happiness on others.
Also, about my responsibility in a democratic society, I think it would be fair to say that my concern with the opinions of others is a natural result of Democracy but not directly a part of it. Democracy is meant to reflect the view of the majority, not the view of a more convincing minority.

@Rimsh7 you argue because in a democracy, a wrong opinion can count as much as a correct one. you are obligated by a democratic form of government to concern yourself with the opinions of the masses, because you have to live by those opinions whether they are wrong or not.
-
I think you are missing the point. He is talking about the metrics. If governments take into account the proposed "GNH" they might better provide the *conditions* that cause an improvement.
Actually, i don't know why I bother arguing as long as it makes sense to me and encourages me to live better then why would it matter if I am wrong?
A bit of self-delusion goes a long way.

@abhi5a naw, I reject the notion of being allowed to be disappointed, actually fatalmystic should've gotten an answer from me which I didn't bother to do, but anyways, basically... when you have a winner's attitude, happiness is there because profits will come in later, but you'll be happy naturally too
that's the key, a lot of the happiness with what you have "gurus" always leave that out
the winners though, know that it's a small part, and that winning is the good part, only doable by smiling

r u sure ur applying for the right kind of job?
-
well... ur right on the self pity thing... but u gotta admit it gets pretty disappointing after getting no call backs or constantly getting rejected w/o any explanation...

this man knows more than the people posting foaming critiques XD
one forgets there is always upper and lower classes, and for there to be a winner everyone else must be a loser~ they might as well be happy instead of not
@numbersabcdefg The pointof the video is that we need to change our view of how we conduct business w/ customers. You may have filled out 700 hundred applcations but your outlook on life is sad and depressing , perhaps if you changed you attitude you would get a call back or even a job.

I think that complacency is brought into place by the idea that only money/ profit drives happiness. By urging industry leaders to defy that idea, Conley presents a strategy to make happiness drive the profits effectively proposing a solution to economic-crisis-related problems. The strategy: measuring intangibles. However – and this is my grumble – he provides insufficient information on how the intangibles are measured.
