                               the h(app)athon project MEDIA KIT 2013
T h e           ( W h a t )
The H(app)athon Project (www.happathon.com), is a twelve-month initiative comprised of awareness-
building events, surveys and hackathons with the goal of  “Crowdsourcing a Vision for the Happiness
Economy."  

Guided by a Committee of thirty experts from organizations including the United Nations, World Economic
Forum, salesforce.com, Microsoft, and MIT, the Project wants to “hack happiness” by shifting how the
world primarily looks at value or wealth via the lens of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).  By utilizing
emerging technology and the growing body of happiness indicators around the world, the Project seeks to
empower individuals, businesses, and governmental organizations to imagine, define and build a more
holistic view of well-being that’s not based just on money. 

Inspired by the Mashable article, The Value of a Happiness Economy, written by the Project’s founder, the
Project’s focus is on spreading awareness and well-being in the Big Data era where ethics and privacy
have not been standardized for technologies like Quantified Self, the Internet of Things, and mobile
sensors.

The Project’s work will culminate on March 20, 2014 with the launch of an open-source App that will help
users identify and optimize well-being in their lives, encourage others to do the same, and provide a
“global mood ring” that provides real-time happiness data from around the world.


T h e           ( W h y )
World leaders, inspired by Bhutan’s, “Gross National Happiness” (GNH) have become disillusioned by the
GDP’s primary focus of wealth creation as the standard for well-being in the world. The United Nations,
inspired by GNH, called for all the Nations of the world to explore how the study of quantitative metrics
focused on multiple facets of people’s lives could better guide policy making for the future.

Using the tools already tracking our behavior and aligning with this mindset of enlightened global
measurement, combined with the expertise of over thirty organizations as part of the H(app)athon Advisory
Committee, the H(app)athon Project aims to ‘hack happiness’ and change the idea that a person’s primary
worth should be focused on wealth. We invite you to join our work, understand the power of your data and
well-being, and change the world, for good.

                             ideas on how to improve happiness and well-being in a digital economy.

                             By creating the fake country of Eudaimonia (the Greek word/concept of perfect well-being),
                             and providing statistics reflective of existing Happiness Indicators, the H(app)athon
                             Workshop will teach attendees how their ideas, videotaped and placed on the Happathon
                             website, can start to form a literal picture of a world we can build that’s not based on
                             wealth.

                             incorporates “golden question” survey methodologies with open text-box answer forms to
                             truly try and listen to participants and their thoughts on what drives their values around
                             happiness and well-being.

                             Data from this survey will be used at the H(app)athon Hackathons to build the Project’s
                             final App. There will also be a second version of the survey available by the Fall of 2013
                             that incorporates the crowdsourced answers from Part One while also adding data

                             participants of how their actions as well as their words determine well-being and
                             happiness in a Big Data world.

  • 2. T h e ( W h a t ) The H(app)athon Project (www.happathon.com), is a twelve-month initiative comprised of awareness- building events, surveys and hackathons with the goal of  “Crowdsourcing a Vision for the Happiness Economy."   Guided by a Committee of thirty experts from organizations including the United Nations, World Economic Forum, salesforce.com, Microsoft, and MIT, the Project wants to “hack happiness” by shifting how the world primarily looks at value or wealth via the lens of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).  By utilizing emerging technology and the growing body of happiness indicators around the world, the Project seeks to empower individuals, businesses, and governmental organizations to imagine, define and build a more holistic view of well-being that’s not based just on money.  Inspired by the Mashable article, The Value of a Happiness Economy, written by the Project’s founder, the Project’s focus is on spreading awareness and well-being in the Big Data era where ethics and privacy have not been standardized for technologies like Quantified Self, the Internet of Things, and mobile sensors. The Project’s work will culminate on March 20, 2014 with the launch of an open-source App that will help users identify and optimize well-being in their lives, encourage others to do the same, and provide a “global mood ring” that provides real-time happiness data from around the world. T h e ( W h y ) World leaders, inspired by Bhutan’s, “Gross National Happiness” (GNH) have become disillusioned by the GDP’s primary focus of wealth creation as the standard for well-being in the world. The United Nations, inspired by GNH, called for all the Nations of the world to explore how the study of quantitative metrics focused on multiple facets of people’s lives could better guide policy making for the future. Using the tools already tracking our behavior and aligning with this mindset of enlightened global measurement, combined with the expertise of over thirty organizations as part of the H(app)athon Advisory Committee, the H(app)athon Project aims to ‘hack happiness’ and change the idea that a person’s primary worth should be focused on wealth. We invite you to join our work, understand the power of your data and well-being, and change the world, for good. " " " Let’s get H(app)y. the h(app)athon project MEDIA KIT 2013
