As a society we tend to care regarding what we tend to live, we tend to use what we tend to live, and what we tend to live drives policies and society in an exceedingly specific direction. We tend to thus ought to live progress properly. If societies blindly settle for GDP as their live of progress, they may be making an attempt to maximize the incorrect indicator for society. During this paper Bhutan is considered as a living example of a society that has opened a national dialogue regarding what progress suggests that, and that they have created the Gross National Happiness (GNH) index to replicate their understanding of progress. Moreover, the political and economic design of Bhutan is structured around increasing GNH instead of GDP. Establishments in Bhutan use the GNH index and a series of instruments of policy to construct policies that promote GNH. This paper will help in drawing variety of lessons from the Bhutanese experiment, particularly that every individual society ought to attempt to answer the subsequent 3 questions:

Gross National Happiness, GNH, progress, social impact and GDP
