"Sustainable Happiness: Bhutan's Development and Pursuit of Gross National Happiness" provides a fascinating exploration into Bhutan's unique and visionary approach to development. Unlike most nations that measure progress through Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Bhutan has famously prioritized Gross National Happiness (GNH) as its principal developmental metric, making happiness and well-being the cornerstones of its national policy.
This insightful book delves into the historical context of Bhutan's GNH philosophy, tracing its origins from the early proclamations of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck in the 1970s to its current implementation. It examines the four pillars of GNH: sustainable and equitable socio-economic development, preservation and promotion of culture, conservation of the environment, and good governance.
Each chapter intricately explores one of these pillars, offering a comprehensive look at how they collectively contribute to the holistic well-being of Bhutan's citizens. From unique environmental conservation efforts to the promotion of traditional arts and culture, and the focus on equitable social welfare policies, the book illustrates the innovative ways in which Bhutan is striving to achieve sustainable happiness.
"Sustainable Happiness" also critically analyzes the challenges and critiques of the GNH model. It discusses the balance between preserving cultural identity and embracing modernization, addressing economic constraints, and ensuring political participation and rights. The book provides an unbiased examination of how Bhutan navigates these complexities in its pursuit of happiness.
Furthermore, this book situates Bhutan's development model in a global context, considering its implications and lessons for other nations grappling with the challenges of sustainable development and happiness as a socio-economic objective. It poses thought-provoking questions about the potential for a paradigm shift in global development discourse, inspired by Bhutan's example.
Featuring comments and discussions by policymakers, citizens, and scholars, along with detailed case studies, "Sustainable Happiness: Bhutan's Development and Pursuit of Gross National Happiness" is both an educational resource and an inspiring narrative that invites readers to rethink the true meaning of progress and well-being in the 21st century.
