Happiness, How Do We Get It? With Lhatu Lhatu

How do we measure a good life, and what if we’ve been getting it wrong? In this episode, Lhatu  Lhatu, Director of Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness Centre explores a radically different approach to progress—one that prioritises wellbeing, community, and environmental balance over economic output. Lhatu shares how Bhutan measures national happiness across multiple domains, why GDP falls short, and what happens when governments design policies around people, not just productivity.This conversation challenges the idea that more consumption leads to more fulfilment, offering us all practical ideas around time use, social connection, and mindful living as pathways to deeper, more sustainable happiness. It’s a powerful look at how individuals, communities, and leaders can rethink success and what it really means to live well.For more information, click here Lhatu’s LinkedInGross National Happiness Centre BhutanUnSchoolsLand recognition
