We need to transition from a measure of Gross National Product to Gross National Happiness, recognizing all the factors that go into human happiness and working back from there. Health, education, fulfilling work & community connection should be the primary goals of public policy

Wouldn’t that be amazing?! I’d love to know how far off that measure we are? Because I’d like to bet that a very large number of people are just trying to survive every day, like me, just about getting through each day, week & month without getting anywhere near ‘happy’!
Exactly. It’s as far away as our willingness to put people in positions of power who have the consciousness necessary to make it happen.

So is it about power or the liberty and abundance to attain happiness. Are we to tax ourselves to happy. Will we create a war on unhappiness? Will people be forced to happy. What is the penalty for unhappy? Who defines happy for us?

Well, what do you believe should be the answer to your questions?
