What this quote means

It resonates in a world obsessed with GDP, where we often forget the qualitative dimensions of life. It applies to public policies, but also to our personal choices: prioritizing personal development, relationships, health, rather than mere wealth accumulation. It is a call for an economy at the service of humanity.
How to apply it daily
