Abstract

The current worldwide Covid-19 health crisis has brought upon us, like few before, eye-opening response choices. It demanded a sharp focus on the immediate human condition and, indirectly, revived cli- mate concerns. However, the return to the malaise of non-inclusive growth and reducing overall wellbeing looms large. Discussing the relationship of growth with happiness and wellbeing in the modern world, this chapter presents institutional lack of trust and inclusion as the cause for reducing wellbeing. It proposes lessons from ancient Indian scriptures for institutional transformation towards inclusivity and happiness.
