Gross National Happiness (GNH) is something that is actually measured in Bhutan and where the concept first got off the ground. The idea was reportedly coined by Bhutan's 4th King in the 1970s, who said "Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestic Product."
Bhutan, in the Eastern Himalayas, is a nation situated between China in the north and India in the south, and near Nepal. With a population of well under one million, the whole nation has fewer citizens than the U,S. city of Seattle. Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy with a King and a prime minister. The state religion is Vajrayana Buddhism.
The nation's leaders hope their constitution and policies offer a beacon to the world to emphasize kindness.
