The 2014 and 2016 period and the 2016 and 2018 period. According to the 2019 United Nation’s World Happiness Report, the happiest countries in the world are Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland.
The report ranks 156 countries by their happiness levels, and each country is given a score on a scale of 0 to 10. The scores are based on factors such as life expectancy, GDP per capita, social support, freedom to make life choices, and generosity.
There are also some subjective measures, such as people’s evaluations of their own lives and positive emotions. Not surprisingly, the happiest countries tend to be those with high levels of economic and social stability. What is more surprising is that these countries also have high levels of personal freedom and satisfaction with life.
In other words, it seems that people in these countries have found a way to strike a balance between work and leisure, individual achievement and community involvement.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is important to learn from the examples of these happy nations. Perhaps they can show us that there is more to life than just material wealth.
