Bhutan flag happiness

Bhutan systematically values its inhabitants' happiness. Take note, rest of the world.

It sounds like irony or wishful thinking, but it’s real: the country of Bhutan puts serious stock in the findings of its Gross National Happiness Commission. This tiny Himalayan country sandwiched between India and China is a promising example of what the blue economy could mean for the world.

Thanks to San-Francisco based Ode Magazine for yet another fascinating, illuminating article to translate.
