The President of the United States is worried that even though people are making more money, they are not feeling happier. He learned about Bhutan, which uses GNH instead of only GDP.
1.Merits of GNH
GNH focuses on people, not just money.
It looks at things like mental health, family life, education, and the environment.
This helps the government understand how people actually feel, not just how much they earn.
2.Challenges of GNH
Happiness is hard to measure because everyone feels differently.
Some answers come from surveys, so they can be subjective.
Also, people in different areas may have different ideas of happiness.
3. How America Can Measure GNH
The U.S. can ask people simple questions about stress, health, and life satisfaction.
It can also look at work-life balance, healthcare, and the environment.
America does not need to stop using GDP — it can use GDP and GNH together.
