🎧 Inside the Science of Cost-Effective Happiness | “Quality of Life Matters” ISQOLS Podcast Welcome to Quality-of-Life Matters — the official podcast of the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS). In this episode, host Roger Fernandez-Urbano speaks with Dr. Michael Plant and Samuel Dupret from the Happier Lives Institute (HLI) about how rigorous well-being research can dramatically increase the impact of charitable giving and global development efforts. 🌍✨ Dr. Plant and Samuel Dupret share insights from their work featured in the World Happiness Report, challenging the assumption that all charities are roughly equal. Their research shows that some interventions can be hundreds or even thousands of times more cost-effective than others when evaluated through happiness and quality-of-life outcomes. The conversation covers evidence-based giving, the measurement of well-being through Wellbeing Life Years (WELLBYs), why interventions in low- and middle-income countries often generate greater impact, and how donors, researchers, and policymakers can use happiness data to make better decisions. 🔗 Learn more about ISQOLS: https://isqols.org 🔗 Learn more about the Happier Lives Institute: https://www.happierlivesinstitute.org 🎧 Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Quality of Life Matters 00:27 The mission of the Happier Lives Institute 01:27 Measuring happiness and charity impact 01:57 Why some charities are hundreds of times more effective 02:55 Empowering donors to maximize impact 03:36 The “Happiness Factory” and creative engagement 04:57 What is a WELLBY? 06:20 Which charities create the most well-being 07:58 Why giving in low-income countries goes further 09:24 Insights from the World Happiness Report 10:26 Giving with both head and heart 11:10 The philosophy behind happiness research 12:07 Moral ambition and doing more good 13:17 Advice for donors 14:56 Advice for researchers 16:26 A new frontier in well-being research 18:06 Final reflections and how to get involved 🎙️ Quality of Life Matters — your front row seat to the global well-being conversation. #ISQOLS #QualityOfLifeMatters #HappierLivesInstitute #MichaelPlant #SamuelDupret #WorldHappinessReport #GlobalWellbeing #HappinessResearch #EvidenceBasedGiving #WellbeingEconomics #QualityOfLife #WellbeingScience #podcastinterview
