Psychology; Mind, Body, Spirit: thought & practice

From the country where happiness is valued above material wealth comes a treasure trove of wisdom, inspiration and humour.

Collected from the tiny kingdom of Bhutan in the Eastern Himalayas, these proverbs reflect the Bhutanese people s dedication to treating everyone with kindness and respect, and their sense of fun.

Sometimes profound and often thought provoking, these simple quotes remind us that happiness can be achieved through being compassionate, affectionate and ready to enjoy life.
