Introducing Our New Blog "Thrive"

A huge part of what we're doing at Gallup revolves around the topic of well-being. With the behavioral economic data we're collecting every day around the world, we're working to help leaders better understand what makes a healthy, happy, and productive life.

Interest in this topic is growing almost as fast as our dataset, with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron becoming the latest world leader to recognize that the well-being of individuals matters a great deal to the well-being of a society.

We track U.S. well-being daily with our Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index and annually around the world. In January, we will begin tracking it daily in the U.K. as well. Our goal is to eventually track well-being in as many places as we can, as often as we can.

All of that data collection results in a lot of findings. So many findings that we're launching a new blog to help you keep track of it all.

Our new blog "Thrive" is dedicated to tracking and reporting on the health and well-being of the world's citizens. Here, our well-being experts will keep you up to date on our latest well-being discoveries, providing updates on what we are tracking and briefings on breaking analyses.

"Thrive" joins our roster of blogs aimed at providing data-driven insights you can't find anywhere else. We hope you'll read them, comment on them, share them, and find them useful.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome at gallup_news@gallup.com.
