"Sometimes we wonder... when you look at the developed world, whether there is in fact an advancement in terms of civilisation or whether there has been a de-civilisation. Because civilisation has to do with the development of the human individual, the mind, the finer aspects of humanity, and I think those are lost."Jigmi Thinley, Home & Cultural Affairs Minister, Bhutan on The Happiness Formula, BBC World

Less is more. I reckon affluence is a mixed blessing
