In this podcast episode, Dr. Ha Vinh Tho discusses his experiences working with the Bhutanese government to develop the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index. He explains that the GNH Index is a more holistic measure of progress than the traditional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measure, as it incorporates factors such as environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and psychological well-being. He also shares his thoughts on the importance of mindfulness and compassion in creating a more sustainable and harmonious society, both in Bhutan and around the world.
