GLOBAL HAPPINESS
We help people attract Happiness into their lives
Danes are the happiest people in the World
Danes are the happiest people in the World; Vietnamese are number 95 of 176 countries covered in new map of global happiness.
For the first time a map of global happiness has been published by Adrian G. White from the School of Psychology at University of Leicester.
The search for happiness is not new. The American Declaration of Independence (1776) argued for "certain inalienable Rights; among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. President Ho Chi Minh referred directly to this passage when he read the Declaration of Independence in Hanoi on 2nd September 1945.
The state of happiness - or subjective well-being - is conceptualized as a sense of satisfaction with one's life both in general and in specific areas of one's life such as relationships, health and work.
While there is a clear effect of poverty on levels of happiness the map shows many interesting ratings. While it might not be surprising that highly developed countries like Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden are doing very well globally, it is worth noting that Bhutan and Brunei Darussalam are also among the top 10 countries.
Vietnam is number 95 with the same level of happiness as Portugal and better than countries like Poland, South Korea, Hungary, South Africa, Turkey and Russia just to mention a few.
