Many people seek happiness in workshops, books or meditation. Nothing wrong with that. But it does show that people do not feel good automatically. Our economical thinking has caused that in our daily life our hearts and souls are left at a lower level of attention then money or possession. The economy asks for more usage, more buying and more profit. This economical thinking in terms of 'more' also applies for less obvious matters; politics asks for more votes, religion for more worshippers en education for more knowledge. Care-institutions ask for more money, nature for more space, and people... Well, people... Where does this leave people in all of this..?

Organization Adviser Jansen and Communication Adviser Hakkert state that the economy should start acting differently in order to remain successful in the future. A development in the thinking of people is already going on. They work and live more and more from the mindset that from their heart and soul comes the core of their existence. They want to express that emotion, their passion, not just in their leisure time but also in their work.
Jansen: "All human action is rooted in emotion. Emotion means: movement by acting from your feelings, your soul. This is something so deeply human, that one can not discard it. One who does, gets into problems and does not feel well." Hakkert: "Our lives have become very practical. Everything needs to be fast and efficient. The clock has become a stopwatch and time something that rushes by. In this hectic world a person rarely feels truly alive. Therefore the soul seeks 'a way out'."

Jansen and Hakkert have put a manifest on the internet: The EQnomy Manifesto. In it they show that it could be different, and that there are people putting life, and experiencing life, above everything else. In only 12 theses they show that a new economy has developed. An EQnomy that puts people and their needs first and that will provide for a society that makes people happy. There is an opportunity to sign the Manifesto and also to read all previous signings. This alone makes it a fun initiative. This way you can see how others think about more happiness in work and in private by just being your authentic self.
