Lewis Mumford highlights the detrimental shift in mentality during the Industrial Revolution, reducing work, time, and nature to mere abstractions tied to labor and profit. This mindset continues to affect humanity today. Conversely, researchers led by Tyler VanderWeele and Byron Johnson are working on the Global Flourishing Study, which gathers extensive data on human flourishing across six domains. Their goal is to encourage countries to collect better data focused on citizens' well-being, moving beyond traditional economic measures to encompass a more holistic view of happiness and fulfillment.
"Although the world is not as ruthless as it was in the 19th century, that mindset still burdens humanity today."
"The study includes survey data from 200,000 people in 22 countries, aiming to examine the distribution of human flourishing across six domains."
