Survival, success, transformation – The range from the tangible to intangible. (An adaptation of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs)

King Jigme Singye of Bhutan, Consider an alternative measure success, why measure GDP, why not measure happiness? We don’t create happiness, but the habitat for happiness.

In contrast, the American model of ‘pursuit of happiness’ is not measured by the intangible of happiness, but what we can count, the amount of stuff that we have.
