Dasho Tshering Tobgay is the former Prime Minister of Bhutan, the Himalayan country once isolated from the rest of the world, but which in recent decades has been pursuing the idea of measuring ‘gross national happiness’. This idea goes beyond the traditional pursuit of economic growth and takes into account the country’s environment and culture. Dasho Tshering talks to us about how his country has changed and how he himself has coped with the ups and downs of political life, learning to question the nature of both failures and successes along the way.
