Seeking happiness the Bhutanese way

Centuries-old value: Happiness and simplicity abound in the peaceful land.

PEOPLE and organisation in many countries around the world claim to have adopted Bhutan's human development vision of Gross National Happiness (GNH).

But what they actually portray is different people's perceptions of GNH. Some are philosophical, some are well researched academic constructions, and some are spaced-out theories.
