The idea of "gross national happiness" as a guiding principle for government reaches back for centuries in Bhutan. The legal code of Bhutan states, "The purpose of the government is to provide happiness to its people. If we cannot provide happiness, there is no reason for the government to exist."

He reviews the history of reflecting happiness in the nation's laws and overview of the current legal system and legal resources.
