People are very adaptable to their situations, and I think there is probably very little difference in happiness levels between countries.

That said, I think one would find the highest levels of happiness in countries with string religious faith.

One2note: In a recent survey, it was discovered that people from Finland were the happiest nation worldwide!
It gives a new meaning to the phrase "happy finish"

From your own personal experience, who do you find to be the happiest nation?
nation?
dunno

my 2 favorite countries are Finland and Norway, but I would put Canada higher on the list because it is a very good country to live in.

I would have said scandinavia allthough I know a lot of scandinavian people who like alcohol travel to other countries cuz alcohol is very expensive in scandinavia.

Through the year I can't drink to much alcohol, because I need to be clear when I am working with children. But during holidays it's different. I like to drink several beers then. And then scandinavia is no option for me, also because I don't have a driverslicense.

And of course scandinavian countries have very beautyful women.

I guess that's caused by the temperatures overthere, but for I know in countries like Brasil and Argentina there are very much crimes, most drugs-related. Murders and so on. We never hear those things about Finland. Of course Norway had the massmurder with Anders Brejvik, in Sweden there was a politician killed several years ago, but for I know crimes ain't to common in Scandinavia. I think that is what makes people happy.
Due to the high costs of everything, also their salary must be high, and when you go on holiday outside scandinavia you'll see everything is very cheap.

Their water must be so full of flouride that they don't even fight anymore...

But you are confusing happiness with well being. Having a lot of stuff won't make anybody happy.

i looked at that chart and was surprised it says Sweden has a higher crime rate than the US. I am not surprised about Finland though everyone i ever talked to from there was so polite to me, they seem to have a gentleness about them and a loyalty. I used to talk to a man in a trivia game, he was married and said so right away. Unlike many other married on there he never flirted with anyone but was so polite, he was the one who told me i should find a boyfriend from there.

It's not about having much stuff. But search for crime rates, most dangerous cities etc.
When you feel safe in your country, there ain't much murders or other violent crimes people will be content, as long as they have enough money to pay their bills, and still will be able to buy food and drinks.

A mother who's son is shot won't be very happy I suppose.
When you look for the cities on this site:



You see Brazil is very often called for the number of murders.
So I guess Brazilian people are very unhappy.
