John De Graaf: Happiness, Time, and Sustainability- Lessons from Bhutan (2014x6)

:

"What matters most--policy change or personal change? What word better explains what we all want--happiness or well-being? How do we measure our success? The answers may surprise you. As we celebrate Take Back Your Time Day on October 24, TBYT's Executive Director will lead a discussion of the connections between time balance, happiness and ecological sustainability, suggesting that a reduction in American working hours could increase jobs, improve happiness and well-being and reduce our ecological footprint. John will talk about the New Development Paradigm model he and others developed this past winter with the government of Bhutan for the United Nations, and explain Bhutan's concept of Gross National Happiness.
