Saturday Mornings: Bhutan's PM on Gross National Happiness, Global Peace & A Mindfulness City for the Future

This week, “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen sits down with Tshering Tobgay, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bhutan in the Capital Thimpu, for a special conversation on Bhutan’s evolving role in the world. As the nation celebrates 50 years of its pioneering Gross National Happiness philosophy, we explore how this unique framework continues to shape policy, wellbeing, and sustainable development in a rapidly changing global landscape. Prime Minister Tobgay also shares insights into the Bhutan Global Peace and Prayer Festival 2025, a landmark event that brings together leaders, communities, and spiritual traditions to reaffirm Bhutan’s commitment to peace and compassion. We discuss the country’s bold vision for the future through the creation of the Gelephu Mindfulness City—a ground breaking initiative designed to integrate sustainability, spirituality, and innovation into urban living.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
