Abstract
A practical template is offered for evaluating one's quality of life (QoL), either one's own, or another's whom one cares about. The template is constructed as a system of systems (SoS) where each system corresponds to a relevant aspect of life. The systems are weighted as to importance and graded to reflect current capabilities. The SoS is scored and compared to a maximum possible value as a quantitative measure of happiness from which the protagonist might utilize to influence her/his future. For illustration, the author provides the latest example of his own QoL assessment.
