Blind Spot

<b>The rising unhappiness that leaders didn't see</b> <p/>Unhappiness has been increasing globally for a decade according to Gallup -- and its rise has been missed by almost every world leader. <p/>That's because while leaders pay close attention to measures like GDP or unemployment almost none of them track their citizens' wellbeing. <p/> The implications of this blind spot are significant and far-reaching -- leaders missed the citizen unhappiness that triggered events ranging from the Arab uprisings to Brexit to the election of Donald Trump. <p/> What are they going to miss next? <p/> Grounded in Gallup's global research <i>Blind Spot</i> makes the urgent case that leaders should measure and quantify wellbeing and happiness -- how citizens' lives are going -- and shows them how. It also discusses the five key elements of a great life and where the world needs to improve in each of them to better the lives of people everywhere.
