We in the U.S. think of ourselves as being exceptionally powerful, and also happy compared with other countries.
But the latest World Happiness Report paints a different picture regarding our level of joy. As shown above, we ranked 19th in the world, and thus just barely made it into the Top 20. Five Scandinavian countries were prominent in the Top 10: Finland #1, Denmark #2, Norway #3, Iceland #4, and Sweden #7. At Today on March 17, 2017 Meena Hart Duerson had an article titled What is hygge? Why the world’s happiest country says this is their secret. And on August 11, 2017 I blogged about Get happy – Danish Style.
