Here isn't so bad - but I doubt we'll still be in the top 10 next year when the recession is factored in.

if new zealand is such a happy place... why does half the country move to australia?

I´m surprised that Hawaii isn´t on the list. It has that cliché image of being a happy place, despite the unemployment rate. And what about California ? San Diego ? Big Sur ? I thought those would be happy places,too. At least I´d be happy there or in Hawaii.

Finland surprises me .I heard that they have a high number of people who suffer from depression due to the lack of sunlight, and they also drink a lot and have a high suicide rate, haven´t they?

Ten years ago, I probably would have been the happiest man on Earth if I lived in Holland. These days I think one has to be born there to be completely happy. Or you have to be American.Still a nice country though.

Canada rocks! One of the greatest countries to live in.

usedtobebliss said:

Yeah, I know...but still. I mean, world´s happiest "places", and no mention of Hawaii and California ? And cold ass countries are in the top three ? With suicides and drinking problems ? Alright then.

KoolEaze said:

Yeah the title says "places" but come on, the report is about countries. I even listed the top ten with pictures!

And yeah Finland seems a little high, but Denmark and the Netherlands are likely candidates. The report focuses on factors like economic wealth and social well being. These countries apparantly did wel.

Apparantly the UK in general has less economic wealth and social well being, which is not surprising considering the mortgage crisis and recession hit the UK hard.

ehuffnsd said:

They are not Godless nor socialist. They are free market based democracies.

Tremolina said:

Absolutely but their outgoing personality/way of behaving won't change overnight.

People should work to live, not live to work.

No probably not, which is why it's not such a great country after all.

I don't see any minority people there.
