Gross National Happiness

Have always been a big fan of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report". Too bad my cable subscription no longer includes it but can usually find excellent clips posted on the web.

Working on an Android application now based on the Gross National Happiness Index.

Completely different take on how to view society. In the States we focus on the Gross Domestic Product which scores security and watse cleanups as positive indices since money is spent on them. Not sure how well a 7 hour workday and 8 hours of sleep per day would go over here.
