What does Bhutan understand about happiness that the rest of the
world does not? Award-winning journalist and author Madeline
Drexler recently traveled to this Himalayan nation to discover how
the audacious policy known as Gross National Happiness plays out in
a fast-changing society where Buddhism is deeply rooted-but where
the temptations and collateral damage of materialism are rising.
Her reported essay blends lyrical travelogue, cultural history,
personal insights, and provocative conversations with top
policymakers, activists, bloggers, writers, artists, scholars,
religious leaders, students, and ordinary citizens in many walks of
life. This book is sure to fascinate readers interested in travel,
Buddhism, progressive politics, and especially the study and
practice of happiness.
