| Summary, etc | Since the foundation of Bhutan, spirituality and compassion have been<br/>integrated with governance. Furthermore, this integration has occurred<br/>at both the personal and the institutional level. This report opens by<br/>tracing the history of this imaginative integration, which was<br/>crystallized by His Majesty the Fourth King into the idea of GNH. As<br/>Bhutan has developed and encounters with other societies expanded,<br/>the spirituality of compassion that earlier was embedded in civil<br/>servants’ via personal practice has been made more explicit, more<br/>articulate and uses modern technologies. One expression of this is the<br/>development of the GNH Index, which opens a wider angle onto<br/>people’s lives. Survey data are used to provides information on all of<br/>these relevant areas. And the GNH Survey and Index are used to clarify<br/>areas in which the conditions for happiness exist and those where<br/>public action is required to establish the conditions of happiness. As<br/>the GNH research of the Centre for Bhutan Studies is designed to<br/>inform action, the first chapter also describes the associated policy and<br/>programme screening tools as well as other actions by which GNH has<br/>been advanced.<br/>The remainder of this report presents the findings of the 2015 Gross<br/>National Happiness (GNH) Survey, which collected information from<br/>across Bhutan on many aspects of Bhutanese people’s lives that relate<br/>to wellbeing measurement and analysis. The Survey was used to<br/>construct the 2015 GNH Index, and to compare levels and the<br/>composition of GNH across groups, and across the period 2010-2015.<br/>The GNH Survey and the GNH Index created from it are designed to<br/>guide actions to advance GNH across Bhutan This report, called A<br/>Compass Towards a Just and Harmonious Society, presents the<br/>detailed findings from the survey for use by both experts and the<br/>general public. It also gives strong guidance for action in public policy,<br/>by the private sector, and among civil society organisations. |
