Well, at this point everyone is aware I’m a Ted addict. So here goes another one: Apart from his charming southern gentlemanly drawl, here is a guy who makes carpets for a living, who came to the conclusion that he was on the wrong path, fixed it, and now has walked away from that experience with more than just a new way to do business, but a new way to frame the very nature of business. Plus he’s referencing equations, which gives recovering math geeks like me the warm and fuzzies.

He’s putting forward an idea not unlike Bhutan’s Gross Domestic Happiness quotient, and questioning whether the ultimate aim in business should be profit for profit’s sake, or whether it should be about happiness.

Happiness!

Love it.
