Chapter 1Introduction to the2019 Global Happiness andWellbeing Policy ReportJeffrey DSachsDirector of the Global Council for Happiness and WellbeingDirector, SDSN, and Director, Center for SustainableDevelopment, Columbia University poverty in those countries by 2030 as called forby the Sustainable Development Goals, remainsa fundamental key to higher happiness.Yet there is more at play. Many rich countries,including my own, the United States, havebecome a lot richer in recent decades, but notmuch happier or even less happy, according tosurvey data. Richer but less happy is a syndromein many parts of the world. The standardapproach of maximizing economic growth tomaximize happiness is far from adequate.If we listened more carefully to the great moralteachers – Confucius, Buddha, Aristotle, Jesus,Mohammed – the broken link from wealth tohappiness would of course not surprise us at all.Happiness requires not just adequate materialconditions but also good health, both mental andphysical; good friendships and social support;honesty of business and government; thefreedom of each person to pursue their life’sdreams with meaning and purpose; and socialtrust and generosity. “Tis better to give thanreceive” is a proven path to personal happinessand social peace.Indeed, the situation is even more perverse. Thevery manner that we are chasing wealth today issimultaneously wrecking the planet throughglobal warming, massive deforestation, thereckless overuse of freshwater, and the air andwater pollution claiming millions of lives everyyear around the globe. The current approach toeconomic growth threatens our very survival.Our societies are not well organized to promotehappiness. The global market economy is goodat producing wealth, but not at sharing it fairlyor protecting the environment from viciousgreed. Globalization has accelerated economicgrowth but also environmental destruction andwidening inequalities.
