Published 10 months ago
Description
On today's episode, we look to the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan to explore a modern question about happiness. We discuss its famous philosophy of "Gross National Happiness," traditionally built on the idea of "not comparing" oneself to others, and how the arrival of the smartphone is challenging that ideal. It's a calm reflection on the search for contentment in a hyper-connected world.
