TEDTalks: The Capitalism Paradox Season 1 Episode 14 Chip Conley: Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile

Chip Conley: Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile is the 14th episode of season 1 of the show TEDTalks: The Capitalism Paradox. In this episode, Chip Conley, the founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality and author of the book "Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow," discusses how businesses can measure success beyond just profit. Instead of solely focusing on financial metrics, Conley suggests a new model of measuring success that includes factors such as employee well-being and purpose. He argues that businesses should strive to create a culture of belonging and help employees find meaning in their work. Conley shares insights from his own experience running a hospitality company, where employee engagement and happiness were key to the success of the business. He also proposes a new index, the Gross National Happiness index, to measure quality of life beyond GDP. Throughout the episode, Conley inspires the audience to re-evaluate their definition of success and consider incorporating measures of happiness and well-being into their personal and professional lives.
