Thank you for the clarity. This has given me a chance to see how unhappy I am- scoring 11. I am becoming more self aware on how I have let my career situation bring me down. I depended too long for my happiness and since of self to return. This survey has opened my eyes to how I have allowed my situation to take power over me.

Look for the Vermont Town Meeting Survey on this website. This is the Western version of the Bhutanese GNH survey with 135 questions and results displayed for the nine domains of happiness. It was developed by Dr. Michael Pennock of the Department of Epidemiology in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Michael was one of the experts who assisted the Center for Bhutan Studies in developing the original GNH survey. You can take this survey online and get immediate feedback on your scores. We are currentlyasking Vermonters to take the survey and the Seattle Area Happiness Initiative is running the survey for the Seattle area. Please let us know what you think of this more comprehensive survey. Tom Hi Eric,

If anything this is a testiment to how sadly lazy America is in that they can't even copy someone else's good idea well enough for it to matter. Converting the Bhutan questionaire into an American version but with the same questisons would be the only real way to measure GNH by its definition since Bhutan was the one who invented the term in the first place.

This will be give an indicative results of a country's people on whether they are happy or not.

It would be nice to get into spiritual fulfillment, core friends-community, sense of being at harmony. I also think that empowering people by getting them to take and recognize small steps for a happiness index is key. I like Bhutan's national goals and think a personal and community score card measuring progress would be valuable. The five questions are all dependant on mindset of the day.
