While you make valid philosophical points they do not invalidate the study or its findings because it is irrelevant to those findings.
Firstly the “happiness” measures include objective factors like incarceration, teenage pregnancy, heart disease.
Secondly, I only mentioned OECD because the data happens to be for OECD countries and therefore cannot be generalized to other countries unless another study is conducted to include them. It is not a stance on the pros/cons of the OECD as you seem to think.
I repeat: the study shows that increasing the GDP does not increase happiness. It has implications for government policy.
Please have a look. It is a peer reviewed data driven study not a random tik-tokker giving their hot take.
