“I think with technology,
entertainment and design, we can
actually increase (…) human
#happiness on the planet. (…)
And if design can increase (…)
#flow and meaning, what we're all
doing together will become good
enough.”
~ Martin Seligman, TED, 2008

“While traditional HCI was very problem-oriented, UX is a

3 universal pillars of happiness:
• Autonomy - feeling in control of one’s surroundings
• Competence - learning & growing skills
• Relatedness - interacting & connecting with other people
~ Sonya Lyubomirsky, 2008
25
Autonomy
• Tools to personalize the
experience - time-shifting,
different platforms
• Transparency - sponsorship
26
Competence
• Flow - simple entry point to
complex information
• Learning about other people’s
thoughts and emotions
27
Relatedness
• The ability to follow others and
form groups around gathering
knowledge
• Multiple ways to interact

Architecting #happiness.
It can be done. Design is the
connecting factor between the
dynamic ecosystem and the need
for #happiness.
Thank you.
