Measuring What Matters

Mark Anielski is a pioneering and spiritual economist who is changing the nature of his discipline. He measures the well-being of the commons instead of just documenting consumption and how much money is changing hands. He has created new measures that focus us on what really matters: Happiness. He is the author of the best-selling book The Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth, published in May of 2007. His book was published in China in 2010. Mark’s mentor economist Herman Daly referred to Mark as ‘God’s auditor’ in the forward to Mark’s book. In 2008 his book won the gold medal in the Los Angeles Nautilus Book Awards in the category of Conscious Business and Leadership and won a bronze medal at the Axiom Book Awards in New York in the category of economics. Mark is President and CEO of Anielski Management Inc (AMI), the founder of Happiness Solutions Inc. and co-founder, partner and Chief Happiness Officer of Genuine Wealth Inc. whose mission is to build new economies and businesses of well-being based on his Genuine Wealth model. In 2008 Alberta Venture magazine named him one of Alberta’s 50 most influential people. Mark has advised governments and business in Canada, US, China, Bhutan, the Netherlands, Austria, and Tahiti on how to measure and optimize their well-being.
