Thursday November 22nd, 2007 | 06:04 pm | Felicità e benessere, Uncategorized
The “Beyond Gdp” meeting in Brussels put together environmentalists and economists on the concept of sustainable development and the ways to measure it.

How do you get the best from life under these conditions? I wrote down a few answers, for myself: no regrets, choose only what is important for you, have a general design of how you want to “grow” in the next years.
