According to Dr. Inghehart “…some types of societies clearly do a much better job of enhancing their people’s sense of happiness and well-being than other ones….” With the largest GDP of any nation, why does it appear that the residents of Bhutan appear more content than those of the United States? It is evident that with little economic growth and prosperity the residents of this area are happy with their lives. On the other hand, industrialized nations like the United States with wealth and all the modern conveniences available to us, many are not “thrilled” with our lives and we are often left wanting a bigger house, faster car, etc.
