Southwest Finland, Finland

52 -year old Logistics student, who wants to change the way we think about well-being is general (and of course economics too). Good start is to read Robert Lustig´s "Hacking of the American mind". Most often, well - being is generated through your personal actions and decisions not by trying to reach all worthless products or services market economy wants you to use today. Today´s grocery store´s food selection is full of "worthless" foods and beverages, which may actually be quite harmful to you and therefore greates not more well - being but just the opposite. This was just one example, but you get the idea. We used to be humans, now we are consumers and this is a global problem in most developed countries all over the world.

서울, Seoul, 대한민국

I'm Sunkyung HAN, and I'm the co-initiator of Donut-Zip, a group focused on bringing doughnut economics to life in South Korea. Through Donut-Zip, I want to help organizations and communities adopt these principles to drive sustainable change. As the CEO of C., a social innovation catalyst organization, I’ve become passionate about fundamental transformations and have been working to introduce doughnut economics as part of a broader vision for systemic change. With more than 15 years of experience connecting people and organizations in social innovation, I founded C. in 2014 to create sensemaking platforms that link up social innovators across Asia. Beyond C., I’ve been an advisor on social innovation committees with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a Korean advisor for AVPN, and a board member for YouthVoice, a nonprofit that helps young people express themselves through social media.
