n April 5, 2012 I was part of a discussion on Russian Television's (RT) CrossTalk, hosted by Peter Lavalle, on the subject of 'Indexing Happiness', measuring happiness and wellbeing and the role of governments in the happiness of people's lives. How legitimate is the Gross National Happiness Index proposed by Bhutan? Is it possible to measure wellbeing? How serious is this index compared to GDP? What’s the use of it? Will a new way of defining progress help find new solutions to the current crises? Or is there no other way of measuring happiness other than the size of one’s pockets? CrossTalking with Saamah Abdallah, Mark Anielski and Chris Snowdon.
