I appreciate your initiative to promote GNH values and Principles in the materialistic American Society. GNH is not simply a talking philosophy. It is possible to practice it in any society and in any parts of the world. GNH is universal and applies to any religion. GNH is all about being good, mindful and values infused human beings. Nothing complicated any way. May this initiative taken by GNHUSA be successful. May GNH illuminate this dark world with light of happiness and peace for all the sentient being for ever and ever.

The June Conference provides opportunities to learn what is happening with implementation of these types of indicators in Maryland, Brazil, Europe and Vermont. Day One is about the development of best practices. Day Two is about Happiness and indicators. Day Three starts with Bill McKibben on making a movement and continues with launching GNHUSA, a national movement to spread GNH ideas. We see these ideas as transformative. We hope to see you at the Conference. Hi Dan,

The GNH in Bhutan-now in the schools has tremendous positive implications from a simple habits to complex concepts. I love the GNH concepts and enjoy imparting the values and skills of GNH to my students...eventhough it is just a beginning. Yet, I see a lot of changes in my students and myself. I am more excited to be GNH teacher. May your program brings a lot of participants and carry the concept of GNH worldwide. With due respect and love to our Kings(IVth and Vth)of our wonderful country Bhutan. I wish this program a great success in your country.

Anything beyond talking to each other? I'm not against talk, but I'd like to know if there are any concrete goals beyond theory, surveys, and consciousness-raising. To put it another way, who or what would have to be influenced for this to change the world? This all sounds great, but what exactly is “the work”? Anything beyond talking to each other?
