About the book
What is the one thing every parent wants for their child?
The universal answer: To be happy.
How to Bring Up Happy Children, based on the Gross National Happiness principles
of the small Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, is about bringing life transformative
changes to young families. Saamdu Chetri uses his decades of experience in
working with Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept, and disseminating its
principles to the world, to explain how parents who are content and grounded in
the nine domains of human existence, enable the raising of happy children who
have the natural ability to live in harmony with themselves, others, nature, and the
greater universe.
From young couples preparing for parenthood, to middle-aged parents navigating
the dicult stages of confusion and inner conict with their young adult
children, this book spans every age and stage, helping every parent/caregiver to
understand how nature and nurture blend in the evolution of a child to his/her
highest potential. A life-long teacher, ecologist, philosopher and life-guide, Chetri
guides parents on how to inuence natural selection; how to gain a new perspective
on collective and time-tested wisdom on thinking and doing; how to create
standard life practices that encompass every domain of human life; how to break
free of entrenched mindsets and habits and go beyond; and how to achieve both
happiness and human potential.
These valuable lessons in mindfulnesss open the door to an organic understanding
of how to live as parents, in a society, and raise happy children who in turn contribute
to creating a better world.
