LONDON - The king of Bhutan wants to make us all happier.

That lesson has been lost on most economists today, but not on the king of Bhutan - or on the many people who have come to recognize the limits of quantifiable wealth.

And, in an age of pervasive anxiety, Bhutan is asking deep questions about the meaning and nature of happiness itself.

In search of a more balanced society that combines economic prosperity, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability, Bhutan famously pursues Gross National Happiness rather than Gross National Product.

Many other countries - including the United Kingdom - are now following Bhutan's lead in surveying their citizenry about life satisfaction.

I went to Bhutan to understand better how GNH is being applied.

In Bhutan, the economic challenge is not growth in gross national product, but in gross national happiness (GNH).

There is no formula, but, befitting the seriousness of the challenge and Bhutan's deep tradition of Buddhist reflection, there is an active and important process of national deliberation.

This focus on material improvement aimed at meeting basic needs makes sense for a country at Bhutan's relatively low income level.

Bhutan is also asking how economic growth can be combined with environmental sustainability - a question that it has answered in part through a massive effort to protect the country's vast forest cover and its unique biodiversity.
