SUMMARY:

The world today is going through serious economic and political crises due to hegemonic choices for
development paths based exclusively on economic progress measured by GDP (Gross Domestic
Product), within the capitalist mode of production, resulting in frightening social inequalities and a
clear dissatisfaction of the population with their rulers. But in contrast and beyond the problems of the
world today, there has never been so much talk about well-being (both physical and psychological),
quality of life, happiness, environment and ecological awareness, sustainability, social equality and in
addition to the problems, is occurring an awakening about the valorization of the individual and his
spatiality. It is also observed that in Brazil there is still a gap in studies and scientific productions
related to happiness and its importance as a method of measuring social and economic well-being, and
that, at the same time, it serves as an indicator of quality of life and as decision-making agent for the
implementation of public and social policies of a more holistic and human scope - as, currently, what
drives the making of political-economic decisions in Brazil is GDP and the HDI. The GrossNational
Happiness Index - GNH Index, was created in Bhutan as an indicator of social well-being that serves
as a tool to unite economic progress and expand the well-being and true happiness of its people,
serving as a guiding basis for the application of policies in the country. This dissertation aims to
analyze the original methodology and its holistic scope by portraying the colors and textures of society
and its benefits in the impacts on development throughout its implementation and comparing it to the
current indexes of measure of progress and development and, thus, propose adaptations of it for Brazil
as an alternative proposal for development and progress to improve the quality of life of society and
increase the happiness of the Brazilian population.
