On: Bhutan, after prioritizing happiness, now faces an existential crisis

[tim333]

I went to Bhutan and looked up the surveys. The consensus seems to be they are happier than most countries at their (low) gdp per capita but probably not doing as well as the leading rich countries like Denmark etc.

I think the Bhutanese are a bit cynical about 'gross national happiness' which was invented on the fly by one of the kings.
