from Down the Avenue:

"Michael Hawley on Bhutan & Happiness. Hawley has been publicly talking about his work with the MIT Media Lab and the country of Bhutan for awhile. He now has a book out, a 5 by 7 foot 133 pound book. Clearly he is passionate about what they’are doing over there and more obvious to me, the people.

"The photos and stories are beautiful as he flips through the larger than life poster sized pages that rest against a large easel on the stage. Hawley's team at MIT together with Friendly Planet took over 40,000 photographs on four expeditions. His new project claims to be the largest published book in the world."
