Track Your Happiness is a scientific research project that investigates what makes life worth living.
Using this app, you’ll be able to track your happiness and find out what factors — for you personally — are associated with greater happiness. You’ll also contribute to our scientific understanding of happiness.
Thinkers from Aristotle to William James have argued that happiness is a core goal of life. Paradoxically, enormous improvements in the conditions human life — bigger houses, more powerful technology, better medical care — have achieved only modest improvements in happiness.
Track Your Happiness aims to use the latest in science and technology to help you better understand the causes of your own happiness, while also contributing to scientific research that could one day benefit everyone.
A few times a day, you’ll get a notification and be asked some questions about your experience at that moment. The idea is that by measuring your experience at many individual moments, you’ll get an accurate picture of your life and the determinants of your happiness.
Let’s get started tracking your happiness!
