Re: Happy 1st International Day of Happiness

My reading of most of these studies is that rather than inquiring about actual happiness (which is probably really hard to pin down), they add up a lot of vaguely related statistics and then tell people: “look at your great numbers - you should be happy, damnit!”
Indeed. Over here we want to be #1 in every league, as we are being incessantly bombarded with league tables,
We become very very unhappy when we have been told that we are not #1 in Happy Liga Table.
