Metrics such as karma, meditation, TV consumption, and sense of worry are among the measures Bhutan uses to gauge happiness. Set against the breathtaking landscapes of the Bhutanese Himalayas, happiness agent Amber Kumar Gurung travels to collect data reflecting the population’s well-being, even as his own is at stake.Part love story, part sensitive exploration, the journey has us holding our breath and rooting for him as we move between homes, encountering stories that complicate the definition of happiness. Tonally charming and humorous, yet maintains a sense of care and genuine engagement.
