Rob (swoon) Hopkins passes along these 9 tips for societal and individual happiness. The first three are Nigel Curry's (Director of the Countryside and Community Research Institute), the next three are Richard Layard’s (from his book ‘Happiness’) and the final three come from the Dalai Lama’s Millenium message.
1. Economics should be about more than just pursuing GDP
2. The focus needs to move from maximising wealth to redistributing it
3. We need to move from the wealth and satisfaction of individuals to the wealth and satisfaction of communities
4. Don’t promote the search for status
5. Limit dysfunctional advertising
6. Give mental health a higher priority in public health
7. Remember that sometimes not getting what you want can be a blessing
8. Judge success by what you gave up in order to get it
9. Approach love and cooking with a reckless abandon
