Marcus and I measure our lives by the sum of our own experiences, as well as our contribution to improving the experiences of others.
Consciousness, the ability to experience, is a temporary gift. You have a set of experiences, and then you die.
Why not make those experiences the best they can be?
This made me start thinking about what experiences matter the most in a lifetime and how one can improve those experiences.
The most promising thing I discovered was positive psychology, a new scientific field that offers a way to measure positive human experiences, aka well-being, and more importantly, a toolkit of evidence-based interventions, like What Went Well, to improve it.
You can measure well-being using the framework PERMA:
P = Positive Emotion
E = Engagement (aka flow state)
R = Relationships
M = Meaning
A = Accomplishment
We're building a platform that measures and tracks your PERMA over time, then recommends the best intervention for your needs, when you need it. The first step is What Went Well, with more features to be added over time.
We’re building this for ourselves, our friends, and our family. But, the beautiful thing about software is that we can scale this to virtually anyone worldwide.
Thanks for joining us on this journey,
Marcus & Darcy
