We should now regard happiness not as a personal issue but as a social good and consider what the government can do to make our lives better," said Luigino Bruni, a professor at LUMSA University in Italy, during his keynote address at the opening ceremony 2016 Asia Future Forum on Nov. 23.

義大利羅馬聖瑪利亞自由大學教授路易吉諾．布魯尼，在11月23日舉行的2016年亞洲未來論壇開幕式上發表專題演講時表示，「國內生產毛額不再扮演衡量社會財富的角色。南韓國民的GDP位居全球第11，但他們卻表示快樂程度很低。這顯示，經濟成長不再是快樂的保證，我們現在不該把快樂視為個人議題，應當作社會公益，並思考政府在使我們的生活更好上，能有何作為」。
