The Happitalist PodcastHP011: Can Happitalists Get the Big Things Done? Also Am I Rich Enough to be a Happitalist?Episode 11 Happitalists identify and engage in activities that directly maximize their well-being.

The Happitalist PodcastHP001: Pete and Joe Want to Make You HappierEpisode 1 This episode introduces the concept of “happitalism.” Envisioned as “capitalism 2.0,” Happitalism seeks to leverage the existing machinery of capitalism. But instead of “maximum return to shareholders,” the happitalist posits “maximum well-being to communities,” as the point of economic activity. This paradigm is based on emerging learnings from positive psychology and well-being science: it does not demand religious belief, altruism, or governmental mandate for motivation, and it is better for the planet, for communities, for workers, and even for owners(!). SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT:Listening over this episode again, I realize that, in my zeal not to be brande...
