Cracking the Victory Code

For some of us, happiness is the smell of morning coffee, for others, it might be nailing a business pitch, or perhaps it’s the 10 minutes of zen-filled meditation at dawn.

Our ideas of happiness are as diverse as we are; and they should be, for what is life, if not a vibrant mosaic of unique experiences?

While our map to happiness may differ, it’s the pursuit of it that strings us together.^[1]

Now, imagine if some of us were still struggling to pin down the basics - food, water, shelter - while others zoom ahead onto thrills like spiritual enlightenment or personal achievement.

Sounds quite skewed, right?

That’s the tricky happiness landscape we’re grappling with, folks.

Happiness: A Cultural Conundrum

Here’s where it gets even more intricate.

Toss into the mix diverse cultural interpretations of happiness, and you’ve got yourself one complex puzzle. Many Western societies equate happiness with personal accomplishments, reflecting their emphasis on individual freedoms.^[2]

Slide over to the East and happiness tends to expand beyond the individual, tying into a sense of societal balance and harmony.^[3]>

On the African continent, happiness looks like spiritual beliefs, harmonious expression of humanity and collective values(4), resilience, or ceremonies despite numerous ethnic groups.

Take a look at Bhutan as a fascinating example, a country that prizes Gross National Happiness over Gross Domestic Product. For Bhutan, happiness isn’t just an individual’s orchestra, but a symphony comprising spiritual, physical, and environmental health.

‍Technology: The Sparkplug in Our Happiness Engine

Here’s where the tide turns.

We’ve got this nifty toolbox called ‘technology’ that can rev up our happiness pursuit.

Tech is fantastic to dial up the happiness quotient in a smart way. Whether by firing up social connections, fueling mental well-being through health apps, making financial stability more accessible via fintech solutions, or opening doors to learning and self-improvement with e-learning platforms, deploying solutions that enable everyone to fulfill their basic vital needs, etc…

Likewise should the purpose of technology be to increasing the potential for human happiness?

That’s the belief of Wehappers.

To genuinely contribute to global happiness, we need to focus on tech projects that can have a real, measurable, and positive impact on the largest number of people.

Reality check…
