Is the world becoming a happier place? Contentment has nudged up around the globe, UN report says
FROM THE STUDY, HERE ARE SOME OUT OF WHACK OBSERVATIONS:
Mexicans are happier than Americans. Venezuelans are happier than British. Angolans and Zimbabweans, though comparatively miserable, are getting happier by the day, but Jamaicans and Spaniards are ever more unhappy. Italians are less happy than Irish, who are less happy than Israelis, who are less happy than Icelanders, but all of them are happier than Iraqis, who in turn are happier than Iranians. Togo, in West Africa, is the least happy place in the world, while Scandinavia is the happiest, at least if you believe the results of a Canadian-led effort at the United Nations to monitor global well-being.
