If you're in or around @SanJose and want to hear more about GNH:

The Pursuit of

Gross National Happiness:

Bhutan and a Vision for a Better World

The term GNH was coined in 1972 by the King of Bhutan to provide a far different measure of

human success than GNP. This talk will provide a photo slideshow of the Himalayan nation, a

presentation and critique of Bhutan's GNH indicators of success, and a vision for a better world.

Richard Hobbs is the Executive Director of Human Agenda, a human rights

organization in San José that works to envision and embody the world we would like

to see. In January Richard made a presentation on the vision of Human Agenda to

the Gross National Happiness Commission of Bhutan in Thimphu. Richard is an

immigration attorney, activist, and former community college trustee, and former

director of the Office of Human Relations of Santa Clara County.

All welcome. Donation $5 – $10
