Future of Happiness – With John Helliwell
How do we create a happier future? What are the factors that influence happiness? What can we do as managers and leaders to enhance happiness, and why is this fundamental to achieving ALL our goals?
Join me for a deeply insightful discussion with John Helliwell, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of British Columbia, and editor of the World Happiness Report 2025.
They can be no more universal theme than this. Happier organizations are more productive. They are more innovative. They are more resilient. Happier societies are safer and healthier and more giving. A deeper understanding of the factors helps us make more effective personal and professional decisions. Happiness benefits EVERYONE. With laughter and good humour and vast knowledge of his subject, John shares a ton of actionable advice for leaders.
If you only listen to one FutureBites episode, make it this one.
And when you're finished, I urge you to download and read the report.
Because we CAN influence happiness, and because moving happiness back to centre-stage in our measures of progress is one of the surest pathways we can take to a better future.
Enjoy the podcast!
