The exploration of well-being data reveals its historical significance in shaping societal health and wealth, tracing its use back centuries. The book critiques long-standing assumptions in social science and policy, emphasizing the growing importance of well-being metrics for businesses, social organizations, and governments. It highlights how these data influence decisions impacting life chances and quality of life, especially in the context of Covid-19, and challenges the conventional narratives that have guided over two centuries of research and policy-making.
