Article Evaluation: After reading the article, Gross National Happiness, everything that was said in the article is relevant to the topic of the article. Nothing in this article distracted me or threw me off topic, but a lot of the information listed in this article is from 2008 on with the most recent being May 2018. After reading the article maybe something that could be added is more recent updates and some more information from this year.Besides adding more recent studies, nothing else needs to be improved

All the links of the citations I checked worked. Also the sources I checked supported the claims made in this article. Each fact referenced in the article, Gross National Happiness, is referenced with appropriate and reliable references. The information comes mostly from ebooks and scholarly journals about the topic. The sources except for one, which is the news article are all neutral sources. The bias in the news article shows up when the writer only mentions one name that labeled the causes of our world in the great depression. The writer wasn't using any other sources to back up the claims.

On this article's talk page there is only one conversation and it is about how to format the wikipedia article. They are wondering/asking questions on whether the article should merge topics or not. This article is rated C class and it is apart of 4 WikiProjects which include: Economics, Sociology, Bhutan and Philosophy.

GNH Defined
GNH is distinguishable from Gross Domestic Product by valuing collective happiness as the goal of governance, by emphasizing harmony with nature and traditional values as expressed in the 9 domains of happiness and 4 pillars of GNH. The four pillars of GNH's are 1) sustainable and equitable socio-economic development; 2) environmental conservation; 3) preservation and promotion of culture; and 4) good governance. The nine domains of GNH are psychological well-being, health, time use, education, cultural diversity and resilience, good governance, community vitality, ecological diversity and resilience, and living standards. Each domain is composed of subjective (survey-based) and objective indicators. The domains weigh equally but the indicators within each domain differ by weight. The domains work differently depending on the person's GDP. For instance, there are two people, one person's life is consumed with working, leaving barely anytime for friends and family. While the other person's life might not be as good in working conditions, there is still enough time to spend quality time with their friends and family. In fact, the person who spends time with family and friends end up having a larger GDP, than the person that is just in it for work. In other words, a person is happier, or can be happier, in life when focusing on the little things.
