What can we learn from a country where Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestic Product? The remarkable little kingdom of Bhutan in the Eastern Himalayas may just hold the secret to lifelong happiness. This inspirational collection of wisdom, proverbs and general sage advice—aside from being funny and quirky—reflects unique values grounded in Buddhist ideals; most importantly that material and spiritual development should occur side by side—something we can forget too often.
