World Happiness Report – Money Isn’t Everything

September 21, 2015 by Sharon Fennell Kennedy | St. Petersburg, FL: Pinellas County 8 Comments

happinessThe World Happiness Report, a landmark survey of the state of global happiness, reviews the state of happiness in the world today and shows how the new science of happiness explains personal and national variations in happiness. The first report was published in 2012.

Here’s how it works: leading experts in the fields of economics, psychology, survey analysis, national statistics, health, public policy and more describe how measurements of well-being can be used effectively to assess the progress of nations.

In its 2015 report 158 countries were ranked based on how people answered questions about the quality of their lives. The U.S., which is number one in the world in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) was ranked 15th in happiness. The 10 happiest countries are Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, Sweden, New Zealand, and Australia, respectively.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, professor of health policy and management at Columbia University, “Even though the U.S. is very rich, we’re somehow not getting the benefits of all this affluence.” While income has risen, the country’s sense of social cohesion has declined. It goes to show… money may talk but who is listening?

    It's the passion for what you do that keeps you from slackin' for too long IMHO. Some days I do slack and others I crack the whip into the wee hours to get something done. That's the beauty of a self driven occupation right?

    DUH, NO I didn’t know this handy simple trick already … but I DO NOW!! Thank you for the tip, I love it. We are fans of “leftover coffee pot into fridge” but even with cold coffee, you still need to add ice (for that official iced coffee moniker), so I will definitely use this! Now, I’m off to the dollar store to locate cool ice cube trays …

    Carissimo Sig. De Monte, e’ troppo bello sparlare per agevolare gruppi, soprattutto quando non si sa la verita’! Infangando la famiglia D’addario che ha sempre lavorato e fatto lavorare. Noi siamo due persone che rispettano e vivono in questa citta’ e conosciamo bene il loro operato.Non si butta fango inutilente e soprattutto gratis. Chi sputa in cielo, in faccia gli cade. Non fare agli altri quello che non vuoi che facciano a te. Dio ti guarda…….
