The Gross National Happiness index was indeed a brainstorm from Bhutan. However, all is not rainbows and unicorns in The Land of the Thunder Dragon. The Lhotshampa people were ruthlessly cleansed from Bhutan in the 80s/90s, and Bhutan, recently ranked at 95 out of 157 countries, has slipped off the World Happiness Report due to a lack of data. It's no Shangri-La.
