I find this information about the happiest countries interesting and helpful. Also, it is important to emphasize what research shows about the relationships between economic inequities within countries and the well being of all of its citizens--both those with the greatest income and wealth and those with the least. Those countries with the greatest economic inequities have the lowest level of overall well being of all of its citizens. In the United States our internal economic inequities are the greatest among the so-called most advanced (i.e. economically richest countries) of the world. So it is no surprise that we don't rank at the top of citizen's well being and happiness.
