Ep. 8 Why wellbeing is the new KPI, with author of The Origins of Happiness Professor Lord Richard Layard

Should happiness be a new measure and definition of progress? And if we judge our society by how happy we are then what implications does that have for business, government and how we live our lives?

Director of the Wellbeing Programme at the Centre for Economic Performance at the LSE, chairman for Action for Happiness and co-author of The Origins of Happiness, Professor Lord Richard Layard, talks about the economic and social effects of happiness, the role of women in driving a “happiness revolution” and whether units of happiness could become a KPI for the future in the new everywoman podcast.
