About this Event

Janet Schofield will speak about and sign her new book, Discovering Bhutan: Land of Gross National Happiness, on Tuesday, October 7th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore.

About the Book:

Janet Schofield felt like she jumped off a cliff when, in her mid-sixties, she left her position as a professor of psychology in the US to help start a new college in the remote Himalayan kingdom, where gods live on mountain tops, mermaids live in lakes, and spirits inhabit rocks, cliffs and trees. She went on a one-year contract, but stayed for more than a decade, enchanted by the beauty of Bhutan's pristine environment, the richness of its unique and fascinating culture and the warm welcome she received from people in all walks of life- yak herders, monks, students and members of the royal family alike.

Here she offers you an enthralling portrait of this tiny, reclusive country has which gained international admiration for its remarkable environmental policies, a peaceful transition from absolute monarchy to democracy, success in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic and for originating the ground-breaking development philosophy of Gross National Happiness.
