Don't Worry, Be Happy

Everyone everywhere is in pursuit of happiness and the citizens of some nation sare happier than others and the 2025 World Happiness Report points us in the direction of Scandinavia if you want to be content.
Countries were ranked based on a self-assessed score of 1-10 and include factors such as likelihood of helping strangers, giving donations, well-being, sharing with others, social connections and trust in your fellow natives and according to the data, Nordic countries top the chart.
Finland leads the pack for the eighth year in a row then came Denmark, Iceland and Sweden which only cements my notion that there is a link between snow and happiness.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Afghanistan is the least happy places with Sierra Leone and Lebanon filling the bottom three places.
The United Kingdom is 23rd in the league of 140 countries which is it's lowest level since 2017 which is one above the miserable buggers in America who are 24th which is the lowest they have ever been but take a look whats going on over there and they did well to get to 24th to be honest.
