Many emotions can be measured on a 1-10 scale; in this case 10 would be the happiest you have ever felt or can possibly be. While it can be difficult to equate emotions into a measurement, this is the closest way possible to measure.

What is happiness according to Aristotle and how is it different from the present notion or definition of happiness?

According to Aristotle, happiness (eudaimonia) is the ultimate goal in life and is achieved through virtuous living and fulfilling one's potential. He believed that true happiness comes from living a life of moral and intellectual virtue. In contrast, the present notion of happiness often focuses on immediate gratification, pleasure, and material wealth, rather than the development of character and virtue.

Does GDP measure happiness?

GDP doesn't directly measure happiness. GDP represents the total output across a country over a calendar year, which can be divided by the population to give the GDP per capita. It is debatable whether or not there is a correlation between this measurement and overall personal happiness (Gross National Happiness GNH). Some argue that the two are related as if GDP is to increase, it is also likely that standard of living will increase, resulting in a rise of personal happiness. However, other's argue that money can't buy happiness...well true happiness anyway, and so there is no correlation between the two. I guess it depends what you class as 'happiness' as to whether it is measured by GDP or not.

How do you measure happiness?

this is a very difficult question, I think happiness is a personal measurement. It can be measured by the feeling in your heart you get when your around people, things or places. I think to measure happiness on a scale isn't correct. To some people reading a great book by themselves in an isolated place is happiness and to others be surrounded by people they love is high on their happiness meter. Personally i think most people have their far share of happy moments and some people don't realize it. Many people have things in their live that suck or things they regret but there's one people or one place that just makes life okay. So to answer your question I'd say that its all in your heart how you measure it, but you probably have more then you'd think.


Is money the key to success?

Success is all in how you measure it. If you want to be wealthy and that is what you have become than you have succeeded, but if your success relies on your happiness then no. Money cannot buy true happiness, but it can satisfy you for a while. Money will always leave you wanting something more.
