Our human emotions are key to how we choose to live our lives given our personal experiences and circumstances. Understanding why and how different individuals feel differently should be be a basic tenet in early years education. Empathy training. Present day politicians, for the most part, still monitor their success or failure on simple economic statistics. They then election campaign with these GDP figures without ever testing them against the actual emotional well being or not these figures are delivering in individual every day lives. It is a structural blind spot in capitalist democracies. One that is exploited and manipulated by unscrupulous psychologically informed corporate media moguls working in the shadows for anonymous donors.
A measurement for the political delivering of individual and environmental well being is long overdue.
