A Living System for Human
Wellbeing, Performance, & Meaning
Joy is not abstract. It is measurable, trainable, and foundational to success in every area of life.
"JoyScore reflects the state of a person’s inner and outer life—across mind, body, relationships, purpose, and material stability."
Founded by Dr. Bob Singhal—also known as Dr. B or Professor Joy—JoyScore is built on a bold but practical idea: just as a financial credit score reflects financial behavior over time, JoyScore is a holistic metric for human potential.
What began as academic inquiry has evolved into a full digital ecosystem aligned around one unifying metric.
Origins & Evolution
Decades of academic work, leadership, and lived experience.
Academic Roots
Early work at California State University, Long Beach, exploring 'right-brain activation'—creativity, intuition, and emotional awareness as drivers of success.
The Missing Metric
Inspired by 'The Game of Work', JoyScore was born to solve a critical gap: Human wellbeing was important but unmeasured. We changed that.
A Personal Pivot
After achieving top 0.01% financial success, a near-fatal accident shifted Dr. Singhal's focus from accumulation to contribution and holistic balance.
