Cited as found in the footer of the official website:

The World Happiness Report is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness that ranks 156 countries by how happy their citizens perceive themselves to be. The report is produced by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network in partnership with the Ernesto Illy Foundation.

The World Happiness Report was written by a group of independent experts acting in their personal capacities. Any views expressed in this report do not necessarily reflect the views of any organization, agency or program of the United Nations.


Personal Disclaimer

My personal remarks, not necessarily to the report itself.

  1. First of all, define the word happiness.
  2. Secondly, happiness is so overrated. It is the new normal. When you are not (personally) happy then you are bound to be a miserable misfit. It's all about propaganda and mass media indoctrination
  3. Where is an independent report of how five basic human needs (survival, love/belonging, freedom, fun, and power) are met?
  4. This report is sponsored by the United Nations. A huge red flag in my eye.
  5. Call me a narrow-minded skeptic when you like :)

Your thoughts?

Are you happy living wherever you live?

How is your country placed?

Do you agree with the placing?

What are your general thoughts about the report?

Thanks!


Better and better

Sort:  

If money and welfare are making people happy... Ok...

FRA and BEL are at the top. Wow, if only I've never visited those two.

They are so happy, that there is a junkie or at least deadly drunk man wherever you point your sight. Happiness !!!! :D

Schools with 3m high walls and gates. Happiness !!!

You are not free to walk alone, but you can be so happy with all those social benefits.

Youth unemployment is equal to unemployment in "deep Balkan", but welfare = happiness. Not devotion, not a respectful job.

And when I see all those soldiers armed with futuristic p90, I'm so, so happy

Slovenia is ranked 20 positions below. Ok...

Croatia and Greece are around position 80.

Summers in those countries are so, so depressive.
