If this finds widespread adoption in organizations, an entirely new set of minefields open up. The highly bullied children and the children of toxic parents will be somewhat more marginalized as they become comparatively less-happy adults and are kept from better opportunities. Pressure to appear happy will only be greater. You thought everyone on Facebook was happier than you?
I’d really like to see a bit more digging in there as to whether removing the happiness-sappers was more or less effective than supporting the happiness-supporters.
At the end of the day, “you’re just not happy enough” could become a valid rephrasing of “you’re just not a cultural fit”.
These are glass-half-empty perspectives, but there’s no principle that can be applied that can’t be misapplied.
