Are You Happy? It Depends on Where in The World You Live!


Are you happy?  According to Adrian White, an analytic social psychologist at the U.K.'s University of Leicester, it depend on where you live.

White analyzed data published by UNESCO, the CIA, the New Economics Foundation, the WHO, the Veenhoven Database, the Latinbarometer, the Afrobarometer, and the UNHDR, using the responses of 80,000 people worldwide to map out subjective wellbeing creating the first world map of happiness.

It appears the happiest place on Earth is Denmark.  At least it was in 2006 when the map was created.
