I am the author of the book, "The Science Of Expectation: Happiness As Anticipation", in which, through a logical analysis of the phenomenon of anticipation, I have tried to answer the age-old question of the meaning of happines. I studied philosophy at the Pontifical Urbaniana Univeristy, Rome.
The question of what happiness exactly means is of fundamental importance because, since it answers the question of what actually constitutes the good life or wellbeing, it has the role of driving a social and economic system – because every social or economic system is driven by an idea of what constitues wellbeing. Now, because the analysis shows happiness to mean inner peace, and because it shows inner peace to be something that is achieved by having few desires, or better put, by a modest lifestyle, the work is showing that the same measure that creates our happiness is the same measure that is needed for a sustainable planet. Herein lies the intersection with the Doughnut framework
