The Flourishing App
Human Flourishing Program,
Dec 27, 2020
This is a measure of 'flourishing' created by The Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University's Institute for Quantitative Social Science. Probably the closest thing to compare it to is the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI), and I would position this as a conservative alternative, because it adds measures of 'meaning', 'character' and 'close social relationships'. The 'measures' in this supposedly quantitative assessment are in all cases based on self-assessment (for example, "I always act to promote good in all circumstances, even in difficult and challenging situations?"). More usefully, there are also activities you can take to promote flourishing (as defined by them). See also UPenn, Authentic Happiness, which is cited at various times.
