Explore the evolving concept of growth in business and life, and discover how a shift in perspective can lead to more sustainable and fulfilling progress.

Ever envisioned a world without growth?

‍ A hell for some, a dream for others. Let’s consider somewhere one’s wealth is measured not in materialistic gains but in the currency of happiness? Where progress does not feed on the finite natural resources, but flourishes on the boundless resource of happiness that we can collectively create and share?

This inspiring vision lights the beacon of the G.R.O.W.T.H concept, pioneered by an innovative Wehappers program.

Meaning, General Return On World’s Total Happiness, G.R.O.W.T.H offers a refreshing interpretation of progress. Unlike mainstream trends that focus on exploiting limited natural resources, G.R.O.W.T.H taps into perhaps the only unlimited resource – human happiness. This ethos soothes economic disparities and provides an alternative pathway as we encounter planetary limitations, fiercely challenging the traditional socio-economic frameworks. It opens a path where the natural human propensity for development can be expressed without limit.

What we need is not a stop (we are not programmed for that), but a new route. Let’s give it a try. There are serious risks in doing nothing.

Wehappers Non-profit Paradigm: A Global Shift from Wealth to Shared Happiness

‍ Welcome to the Wehapper’s world! Here, we brew the G.R.O.W.T.H principle in the grand cauldron of a non-profit cooperative structure, in progress. Comfortably coexisting alongside capitalist economies, it nurtures a wonderful alternative – a system aiming for positive societal progress rather than personal financial gain. We all need money to live a peaceful, secure and decent life, but we also all aspire to maximum happiness. Regardless of our culture or where we are on earth, we all have this idea in common.

Wehappers use the fantastic tools tech can offer, as catalysts for progress. Logically the program brings blockchain into play in its cauldron.The Happiness Index Token (HIT), unlike traditional speculative currencies or popular cryptocurrencies, known for underwriting shadowy markets, empowers individuals to measure and value happiness-centric contributions in tangible terms.

When it comes to happiness, it’s like magic – the more you give away, the more you share, the more you have.

Envision a world where the wealthy can transform their extra fortunes into a wealth of happiness. Isn’t that the kind of investment that promises the most rewarding returns? A life whose value grows with the happiness generated and shared!

A Global Invitation: Happer Scientists, Unite!

‍ Renowned Nobel laureate Amartya Sen [1] voiced, “economic growth without investment in human development is unsustainable - and unethical.” As the privileged, this provokes us to balance our socio-economic landscape using our surplus wealth for safeguarding our future generations. Concurrently, for society’s less privileged, G.R.O.W.T.H shines as a prospect of a promising, brighter future.

Wehappers extend a warm invitation to “happer scientists” – researchers, goodwill experts, awaiting to untangle the mysteries of the science of happiness. Their participation and contributions underpin the Wehappers program’s credibility, augmenting public trust in the GROWTH charter. Take, for instance, the World Happiness Report [2] that resonates with G.R.O.W.T.H’s principles, reinforcing the worldwide reorientation towards well-being.

A Beeline for Shared Happiness

‍ Friends, G.R.O.W.T.H offers a universally appealing alternative to profit-driven systems. By encouraging us all to become the best versions of ourselves for collective societal benefits, G.R.O.W.T.H radiates warmth in a sometimes-cold profit-driven world.The pivotal challenge for humanity’s future lies in extending happiness, not in exhausting what remains.

Why not take a step towards shared happiness?

Grow not just for yourself, but also for the united community, we call the world, indulging in the shared happiness brought about by the Wehapper’s program.

Let’s embark on this shared journey of fulfillment.
