Happiness as the engine of social development: No utopia, but a political custom – at least in the long isolated kingdom of Bhutan. By means of a ministerial survey, it is the aim to enhance the so-called “Gross National Happiness,” the status quo of local contentment. Harald Friedl accompanies what is probably the largest social research project the world has seen. A road movie to the most elusive of destinations: Happiness.
