In John Helliwell, Richard Layard,
and Jeffrey Sachs report: “The World of Happiness Report (2012) it’s a book
that explains that is possible to reach a state of world happiness through the
different steps listed in it. Helliwell, Layard, and Sachs inform their readers
that world happiness is important for the world related to economy, environment
and other issues. They made this report to encourage other countries to change
their objectives and goals to world happiness. We believe the intended audience
is anyone who wants world happiness or is for it.
Overall after reading the report, I
agree with the idea of world happiness. To us it’s inspiring to see someone so
passionate and driven about what goes on in the world and its well-being. I also
believe this motivates and give hope to people who have given up on the world.
We
believe the main focus of Helliwell, Layard, and Sachs report was that the
overall happiness and well-being of the world and the people who live in it, affect
what type of society and environment we live in. So if we maintain a safe and
stable environment the increase the quality of life people have and increase
their happiness, the world would be in a better place. They state “we can do
this by adopting styles and technologies that improve happiness (or life satisfaction)
while reducing human damage to the environment” (91). Basically there saying
that we need to come up with new technology that doesn’t cause human damage to
the environment we live in, but increases are happiness.
