?
If you had to go and live in another country, where would you be happiest? Many people would think living somewhere warm with a beach would make them the most relaxed and happy. Well, according to the United Nations World Happiness Report, none of the world’s happiest nations are well known for great seaside resorts. In fact, if you had lived in any of them, you would probably have spent a lot of time wearing thermal underwear and a parka because the five most cheerful nations in the latest report were Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden.

3 People prefer it when important decisions are made for them.
Good health and long lives What will be the most important thing in your life when you’re old? Most elderly people would say that it’s being healthy. Good health care, from dealing with a broken leg to treating serious illnesses, helps citizens enjoy long healthy lives. When people are fit and healthy they are able to relax and enjoy their lives more.
Freedom to make decisions Do you feel that your opinions matter? People are happier if they feel they can influence changes to national laws and if they have control over their own lives, e.g. changing jobs because they want to, not because they have to. Trust in authority Can you trust the authorities? Trust in government is essential for a country to succeed. If people live in open societies where they have confidence in national institutions, they are more likely to follow the rules. Helping others Do you give people a hand? Helping other people can make you happier and the countries where people volunteer to do this the most have fewer social problems. So now you know, happiness is not just about having exotic beach holidays – but which of these things would be the most important to you?
36
2 It would be a good idea to buy a parka and a bik ini if you want to live in one of the world’s happiest countries.
A strong economy If you had more money, would you be happier? There’s a common expression that says money doesn’t buy happiness, but a strong economy helps countries provide better services and this means people usually have a better quality of life which has a positive effect on people’s happiness.
Friends and family Have you got someone to call on in times of trouble? If you’ve got caring people around you, it will help you through difficult times and improve the quality of your life dramatically.
