It means Gross National Happiness and the other is Gross National Products. Actually Japan's GNP is the third in the world next to China, used to be the second until last year.
I've read an interesting column about that country Bhutan by which is written a Japanese woman, who is working for the government of Bhutan.
She used to work as a consultant of companies after having got MBA, which is a license of management.
She has a job of fellowship for the government and supports for the country.
She introduces Bhutanese life and philosophy why they are the happiest in the world.
One of the topics from the columns, Bhutanese believe in Tibetan Buddhism and it teaches that no life is mightier than nature so they are optimist and easy to get along with the nature. They don't complain but better think themselves happier.
That leads them GNH the No.1.
Gross National Happiness
