Plus we ask whether more governments should follow Bhutan's lead, and use the happiness of their citizens as a key measure of success, rather than economic growth. 
And as the biggest event for video games, E3, opens in Los Angeles we look at gaming's future, and we discuss concerns that gaming can be addictive.
Throughout the show we’ll be joined by Alexander Kaufman of HuffPost in New York, and Yoko Ishikura, Professor Emeritus of Hitotsubashi University and a member of the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network, in Tokyo.
