miriam_eYou probably know I have no time for religion, so you might be puzzled by my great admiration for the Benedictine nun Joan Chittister. She is a very smart, humane person who has great insight that allows her to look at common life-issues and see them in surprisingly different and helpful ways.
Her most recent blog post at:
http://ncronline.org/blogs/where-i-stand/bhutans-model-gross-national-happiness-glorious-goal-modern-society
is just such an example. I had heard some time ago of the little nation Bhutan's use of Gross National Happiness instead of Gross National Product as a way of measuring progress and thought it a very sensible thing. Joan sees it from a slightly different angle and somehow gives me hope that we may yet strive for it.
