This is the No. 1 happiest country in the world
On Wednesday, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, an initiative of the United Nations, released its well-respected “World Happiness Report,” and, once again, Finland tops the list. The report ranks 156 countries by how happy their citizens perceive themselves to be, according to their own evaluations of their lives.
The U.S. doesn’t make that top 10 — not even close. It once again fell in the rankings, dropping one spot to 19th. Twenge highlights several “credible” explanations for American’s drop in happiness, like declines in social support, and increases in obesity and substance abuse. But she has her own explanation: “Americans are less happy due to fundamental shifts in how they spend their leisure time.”
