Episode description

Nic Marks is a statistician with a slightly weird speciality - happiness. For the last three decades he has been creating measures of people's quality of life - with an increasing emphasis on their emotional experience and happiness.

His strong proposition is that by measuring people's happiness, it kick-starts a process which builds happiness.

The proposition really works well at scale and over the years he has learned this through his work with:

  • The British Government designing national wellbeing indicators
  • The kingdom of Bhutan measuring their Gross National Happiness
  • And many businesses large and small

Nic also gave a very popular TED talk.

Nic is the Founder and CEO of Friday Pulse which tracks employee happiness helping businesses build a positive productive work culture.

Thanks, Nic!
