In Bhutan, Happiness Index as Gauge for Social Ills

From the New York Times:  Mr. Ura, 55, is perhaps one of the world’s leading experts on happiness, at least as seen through the lens of development economics. It has been something of a preoccupation for more than two decades as he has developed and fine-tuned Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness indicator, a supplementary, sometimes alternative, yardstick to the conventional measure of development, gross domestic product.


Happiness cannot be rated
without many standards debated.
Perhaps honesty,
or a sugar daddy.
(A pizza would make me elated)
