A recent survey revealed the happiest nations in
the world, following research in 155 countries with over 136,000 people over the age of 15. The survey asked people to rate their answers on a scale of 0 (worst possible) to 10 (best possible). People were asked to rate things in
relation to the previous day or month including: smiling or laughing, being proud of something, learning or doing something interesting, eating tasty food, feeling free to choose how to spend their time, satisfaction with where they lived, having enough money to buy and do the things they wanted to, having
friends or relatives they could rely on for help, and being treated with respect and helping a stranger or somebody they didn’t know.

Some of the results are more surprising than others. According to the survey, the world’s happiest country is Denmark. Finland and Norway are second and third, with Sweden and the Netherlands joint fourth. Sixth are New Zealand and Costa Rica; while Canada, Israel, Switzerland, and Australia are all in eighth position. The United States shares 14th place with Austria and the United Kingdom is ranked 17th. Despite a generally strong European performance, Germany and France are far down in the table in 33rd and 44th places. The top African nation is Malawi, in 63rd position. So what does this tell us about our happiness levels, and maybe more importantly, what does it tell us about the way we measure them? Firstly, the survey considered two different aspects of happiness: people’s immediate day-to-day feelings, and an evaluation of their
overall happiness in their lives. So people scoring high in both categories helped improve their country’s ranking. It is hard to ignore the fact that most of the “happiest” nations are ones with generally high standards of living. However, before jumping to the conclusion that money equals happiness, it’s worth considering that Costa Rica’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is only 90th in the world, compared to the USA’s, which is first, and Germany and France’s, which are 6th and 10th. This suggests that wealth might give you a general sense of wellbeing, but it won’t necessarily bring you day-to-day feelings of happiness. In fact, scientists from the American Psychological Association have
suggested that it is the little things in life which make us happy. Things like receiving gifts, compliments, or words of praise.
