Another study, this time from the New Economics Foundation-the Happy Planet Index which lists which world countries are the greenest and the happiest by combining some measure of their ecological footprint with how happy their people are.
How do they measure happiness? And how much does it have to do with the country's ecological footprint?
The 15 top happiest countries can be seen at the above link. The United States is no where to be found on the happy list but Saudi Arabia is and so is Cuba and Egypt and Vietnam. What? Cubans are in the top ten happiest countries? Wait. Why are people still trying to get to the U.S. on anything what will even marginally float?
The study must only have asked men questions in Saudi Arabia.
I am very happy. Also, happy I don't live in Cuba, Egypt, Vietmam, or Saudi Arabia. Especially happy none of my female relatives or friends live or have to travel to Saudia Arabia.
