Although its economy is ranked among the lowest in the world, Bhutan is known as the happiest country in the world. Let's find out what Bhutan has to achieve this title.

Bhutan is a landlocked country in South Asia, located between India and China. Although Bhutan has one of the lowest economic levels in the world, and poverty and illiteracy are still widespread, the people here have the happiest lives in the world.

A survey has shown that thanks to the beautiful scenery and national pride and consciousness, people in this country always feel happy and comfortable living here.

The Kingdom of Bhutan is located next to the Himalayas and 60% of the country is still very wild. During the holidays, the Bhutanese people always feel much luckier than people in other countries who are always crowded in stuffy urban areas.

Bhutanese people do not care about TV and internet, it was not until 1999 that Bhutanese people had access to television. However, in this country, people do not care much about the media. They think that having more access to the internet, seeing rich people, driving cars and having a lot of money, will arouse jealousy in their hearts, and they will no longer be satisfied with their lives. In fact, Bhutanese people do not have to worry or be sad that they do not have the latest iPhone because simply to them, being alive is a satisfaction.

In Bhutan, the government has developed a scale called the Gross National Happiness Index to measure the level of satisfaction with people's lives. The Bhutanese government is always aware that bringing happiness to people in their daily lives is very important.

The rest regime of the people here is also very regular and standard. A survey has shown that 2/3 of the population sleeps 8 hours a night and this makes them have very good health and feel more relaxed every day. To protect the health of the people, the Bhutanese government is the first country in the world to completely ban smoking and selling cigarettes (since 2004).

The government of this country also issued a policy aiming to eliminate artificial chemicals in agricultural production with the aim of creating a clean food source that is safe for public health. The import of chemical fertilizers is also officially banned in this country.

Most of Bhutan's population are Buddhist and vegetarian, they always believe in the law of cause and effect, so they live compassionately, benevolently and do good things for others. That makes the life of Bhutanese people more peaceful. In fact, in Bhutan, there is no crime.

The gap between social classes is not too separate. Bhutanese people are very friendly, even a prince can play ball with children without any discrimination. This makes Bhutanese people more satisfied with life.

Bhutan is not a large, rich country, and is even quite isolated from the world. However, the happiness that Bhutanese people have is not found everywhere.
