The rising unhappiness that leaders didn't see

That's because while leaders pay close attention to measures like GDP or unemployment, almost none of them track their citizens' wellbeing.

The implications of this blind spot are significant and far-reaching—leaders missed the citizen unhappiness that triggered events ranging from the Arab uprisings to Brexit to the election of Donald Trump.

What are they going to miss next?

Grounded in Gallup's global research, Blind Spot makes the urgent case that leaders should measure and quantify wellbeing and happiness—how citizens' lives are going—and shows them how. It also discusses the five key elements of a great life and where the world needs to improve in each of them to better the lives of people everywhere.

Jon Clifton is the CEO of Gallup.

Clifton is a nonresident senior fellow at Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion.  He serves on the boards of directors for Gallup and Young Professionals in Foreign Policy.

Clifton received a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska.  He was also awarded an honorary doctorate from Midland University.
