What you are missing is that people figuring out useful stats from all these numbers and then improving their lives based on real life in real time. I suggest you try this for 1 day, just keep track of your happiness. Its really interesting and optimizable, as you can find out.
Sure no one is saying quantified will get you from a 1 to a 10 on the happiness scale, but it will definitely help you to learn more about yourself.
- sheraz 14y agoOK, then -- What might one learn by tracking something as squishy and undefined as happiness? I find it ridiculous that anyone would attempt to reduce happiness to a single numeric range. - I don't need to track my happiness to know if I'm happy. - I don't need to track my sleeping patterns to learn how to sleep better. - I don't need to track every calorie to know if I'm eating well. - I don't need a computer to tell me if I'm healthy. It seems to me that QS is just a new fad that will make a certain personality type feel like they have control over their lives.
