Hooray! World leaders are paying attention to happiness. Whoa. Yes Magazine reports the unlikely event of the UN gathering to discuss “Wellbeing and Happiness: Defining a New Economic Paradigm.”

I don’t know how they are going to measure this. I hope, PLEASE, that they don’t boil it down to a rating system that often doesn’t expose truth: how much stuff people have, how much money they make. Maybe they’ll discover that those will a little less stuff are happier.

What is happy anyway?

My definition: ease within.
