Designing Happiness: Life OS

Many people today feel overwhelmed just by the complexity and requirements and obligations of modern life. And many of the companies and systems around us aren't there to help, but actually detract from our happiness. We live in this world optimized for profit and growth, and not for our wellbeing and happiness.

For the past 16 years J. Paul Neeley has been exploring the design of our lives for happiness. In this session he'll share some of his key learnings for happiness around Evolutionary Basics, and also a software system he is building called Omniana to help design and organize our lives for happiness. Omniana is a new kind of Life OS, helping you optimize your happiness.
