It’s also great to see the organisation taking philosophical/empirical concerns seriously. I still have some concerns/questions about the efficacy of these interventions (compared to Givewell charities), but I am confident in HLI continuing to shed light on these concerns in the future.
For example, projects like the one below I think are really important.
Develop the WELLBY methodology, exploring, for instance, the social desirability bias in SWB scales
and
building the field of academic researchers taking a wellbeing approach, including collecting data on interventions.
I’m also impressed by this post. HLI’s work has definitely shifted my priors on wellbeing interventions.
