This book questions such an approach. It breaks from the conventional wisdom of GDP growth as being a definitive measure of success of a country’s policies and offers an alternative development philosophy. The book underlines that in a successful model of development, the country’s economic policies will have to synergize with its cultural ethos and that the objective of development should be Gross National Happiness and well-being of the people.
