The future ‘Gross National Happiness’?

As this blog has progressed I've learnt about, researched and debated various materialist, consumerist issues. Many of these issues have had empty answers, vague and unspecific. But recently iv begun to research the idea of GNH, Gross National Happiness. A concept developed by the Forth king of Bhutan, Bhutan being a small country in the Himalayas. The concept takes concentration away from economic growth and looks at happiness. GNH has four pillars – Good governance, sustainable socio economic development, cultural preservation and finally environmental conservation. Along with this there’s nine points: community vitality, good governance, health, education, time use, cultural diversity, living standards and resilience.
