I’m very interested in applying well-being surveys to public policy, and I don’t see how this will help me much. Like you, I agree it encourages us to look at future well-being. I also believe it’s done to implicitly show that it is possible to have relatively high well-being at low levels of resource consumption. I’ve put the post on my blog – jamescoan.wordpress.com. <br /><br />It seems we’re some of the only people blogging about using well-being surveys in a government/public context. Most blogs I’ve found are for self-help.
