Chief Happiness Officer

from earlier wordpress blog Vienna Happiness Project

CHO

Does your organisation, city or country have a Chief Happiness Officer (CHO) ? Does it have a Happiness Improvement Program in place based around a Happiness Hotspot ? Are people working on Personal Happiness Plans and together on Team Happiness Plans? Would your income, turnover or GDP increase by 1% or more if the happiness of your family, people, community increased by 1%?

As Happiness becomes more mainstream, the number of Chief Happiness Officers and Happiness Hotspots is growing. A sample of CHOs below:-
