Happiness (1x2)

Data di messa in onda: Gen 11, 2011

The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan measures its national wellbeing by a “gross national happiness” index. But is it really possible to measure a nation’s happiness? Many of the world’s leaders seem to think so, with the idea catching on in countries like Britain, France and Canada. If you believe the studies - and there are plenty of them - it seems the whole world is on a grand search to find this holiest of grails. So do the “vast majority of humans throughout the vast majority of history spend their life vastly unhappy”? And if money can’t buy you love, then surely it should buy you happiness? Tonight is a contagiously happy show. Join the party.
