Bhutan Chooses Happiness Over Wealth, Inspiring Global Reflection

During a recent trip to Bhutan, the author experienced the unique living arrangements of extended families sharing homes. This communal lifestyle contrasts with the typical living situations in the UK, particularly where younger and older generations may be isolated. While in Bhutan, the author felt the impact of being disconnected from the internet, prompting reflections on society's obsession with constant connectivity and productivity. Bhutan's approach to national success, focusing on gross national happiness, raises questions about how intergenerational living could improve social structures in other countries, including the UK.
