【TED演讲】全球幸福指数（2/9)
Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation's success by its productivity -- instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn't have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI? You might be surprised.Hints:
Robert Kennedy
ill-fated

And he finished his talk with the phrase, that, "The gross national product measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile." How crazy is that? That our measure of progress, our dominant measure of progress in society, is measuring everything except that which makes life worthwhile? I believe, if Kennedy was alive today, he would be asking statisticians such as myself to go out and find out what makes life worthwhile. He'd be asking us to redesign our national accounting system to be based upon such important things as social justice, sustainability and people's well-being.但早在1968年，一个有远见的人，肯尼迪，在他开始失败的总统竞选前，对GNP给出了前所未有的最具说服力的抨击。他用这样的一句话结束演讲：GNP衡量了一切，但唯独缺少了使我们生命变得有意义的东西。这是多么的荒唐，说我们的衡量增长的标准，我们社会上占主导地位的标准，却衡量了一切，但唯独少了使我们生命变得有意义的东西？我相信，如果他今天还在世，一定会让我们这些统计学家们到社会上去寻找到底什么是我们生命有意义。他会让我们重新设计国家核算系统，这当中要包括一些重要的数值：社会公平，可持续性和人民的幸福感。
