The Gross National Happiness index is the brainchild of Professor Talita Greyling of the University of Johannesburg and Prof Stephanie Rossouw of the Auckland University of Technology, with the technical support of AFSTEREO (Pty) Ltd. It is the first index of its kind and measures the real-time sentiment of a country. The happiness index is constructed by using information-seeking query data extracted using Google Trends™.
