Dearest readers, have you tried this yet? I know, not all of us are built the same. There are doers, there are thinkers, and then there is a mix of the two. Personally, I am about a 50/50. So, for the thinkers out there, I am sure that from time to time you come up with new concepts or new spins on old ones. This is important for creative problem solving, in entrepreneurial circles, scientific development, policy making and all that jazz. However, have you tried yet to come up with a concept based on seeing new things happen or seeing old things in a new way, and then have ChatGPT help you put it into words? This is an entire new segment of intellectual property creation. Now, before you say "huh" and click away, I really invite you to stay, especially if you are a guy. I want to you to explore with me how I took the concept that came to my head independently- that of happynomics (the economics of happiness) and a related concept of hedonomics (the economics of pleasure) and what it means for you, gentlemen.
First, I will discuss why I thought about all of this. Second, I will discuss how I went about fleshing it out with ChatGPT.
First thing's first. I have noticed a disturbing trend taking form and spreading like cancer since I was a teen. More and more, with disturbing ferocity and insidiousness, things that make guys happy have been looked down on, watered down, described with shaming language and deliberately hurtful labels. Ridiculous, I say! :) This has clearly been done by people who prefer to win and keep winning not by making themselves better, but by keeping the guys down. Sad, so sad. There is a gold mine waiting to be exploited- people with money to invest just need a better guiding principle. So, I put on some glasses for that boss lady look (a boss lady who loves men, is it not rare these days?) and I thought hmm- economics, happiness, the business of happiness, guy paying a girl to tell him for an hour straight that he is right and to explain her reasoning to him (haha, delicious), uBer Eats, OnlyFans- and then I got it! Happynomics. Oh, and hedonomics- somewhat obviously.
So, I go to ChatGPT and ask it to tell me about happynomics, and it says it has no info, and then it infers what it might be based on its reasoning power. So then, I go ahead and ask it to flesh it out based on my initial concept of it, using OnlyFans and uBer Eats as examples to help it develop the framework. Here is what I got.
Happynomics is a business concept that centers around prioritizing and delivering happiness to customers through personalized experiences, subscription models, on-demand services, and a community-driven approach. It combines elements of successful platforms and leverages emerging technologies to create a unique and engaging business model.
Happynomics Business Model:
There you have it, dearest readers- a good concept to use on multiple levels, a good topic to examine in 2024 and how it relates to what makes all of us happy, and especially you guys.
Let me give you a final example before I say until next time. A guy friend of mine got so tired of his girlfriend asking him what's wrong when he's quietly staring at an empty space, intensely thinking about random stuff that he got so fed up with it he said he would pay an escort to just browse her phone or do other stuff around him without asking him what's wrong while he's intensely focusing on his thoughts! I almost fell out of my chair laughing, at both the comedy and the brilliance of this statement!
Until next time, Happy V-Day. Spend it however you like, love yourself first, and have a great week and an even better weekend! :)

Happynomics Business Model:
- Customized Experiences:
- Businesses under the Happynomics model would focus on creating personalized and tailored experiences for their customers. This could range from personalized products to services tailored to individual preferences.
- Subscription-Based Happiness:
- Similar to platforms like OnlyFans, businesses can adopt a subscription-based model where customers pay a regular fee to access exclusive content, services, or products that bring them joy. This could include personalized content, entertainment, or wellness services.
- On-Demand Happiness Delivery:
- Taking inspiration from the convenience of services like Uber Eats, Happynomics businesses can offer on-demand delivery of happiness. This might include delivering mood-enhancing products, surprise packages, or even on-the-go happiness boosters.
- Wellness and Self-Care Services:
- Incorporate wellness and self-care services into the Happynomics model. This could involve partnerships with fitness services to offer exclusive deals and packages to subscribers.
- Collaborative Happiness Platforms:
- Create a collaborative platform where users can share their happiness-inducing experiences, recommendations, and tips. This community-driven aspect can foster a sense of connection and shared joy among users.
- Data-Driven Happiness Insights:
- Utilize data analytics to understand customer preferences and behaviors related to happiness. Businesses can then tailor their offerings based on these insights, ensuring a more targeted and effective approach.
- Social Impact and Sustainability:
- Integrate social impact initiatives and sustainability into the business model. Customers often find joy in contributing to a good cause, and businesses can enhance happiness by aligning with values that promote positive social and environmental impacts.
- Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences:
- Incorporate AR and VR technologies to create immersive and engaging experiences that transport users to happy and relaxing environments, providing a break from their daily routine.
- Continuous Feedback Loop:
- Establish a continuous feedback loop with customers to understand their evolving happiness needs. Regular feedback can help businesses adapt and innovate to stay relevant and meet customer expectations.
