About this audiobook
Backed by global research, Gallup’s deep dive into citizen well-being and happiness that leaders didn’t see now available on audio for the first time.
The rising unhappiness that leaders didn’t see.
That’s because while leaders pay close attention to measures like GDP or unemployment, almost none of them track their citizens’ well-being.
The implications of this blind spot are significant and far-reaching—leaders missed the citizen unhappiness that triggered events ranging from the Arab uprisings to Brexit to the election of Donald Trump.
What are they going to miss next?
Grounded in Gallup’s global research, Blind Spot makes the urgent case that leaders should measure and quantify wellbeing and happiness—how citizens’ lives are going—and shows them how. It also discusses the five key elements of a great life where the world needs to improve in each of them to better the lives of people everywhere.
