GNH is a part of a grand vision first conceived in 1972 by the King of Bhutan, a small land-locked nation in the Himalayas. In the wake of globalization, Bhutan employs GNH as a guiding principle to steer itself toward a more w/holistic direction in development. This encompasses measuring both economic and social variables.
Although GNH remains to be defined quantitatively, it is increasingly being studied as a new paradigm shift to achieving a meaningful, sustainable, and equitable socio-economic development worldwide.
As the volumes expand, the initial objective of the site is to put together just that. The site is under development. In the meantime, indepth information on GNH or happiness in general can be accessed at:
