Description: Gross National Happiness Workshop and Seminar with Tom Barefoot, Co-Coordinator of GNHUSA, GNH is based on the premise that the calculation of “wealth” should consider other aspects besides economic development: the preservation of the environment and the quality of life. The purpose of an economy should be the integration of material development with psychological, cultural, and spiritual aspects – living sustainably on our one Earth. This workshop will discuss the Four Pillars of GNH: • the promotion of equitable and sustainable socio-economic development • the preservation and promotion of cultural values • the conservation of the natural environment, and • the establishment of good governance. We will explore the idea of happiness and how to pursue it and we will look at how alternative measures can make us all happier.
