WHR is trash. A bunch of indicators with no causal relation to happiness. Pretty sure Finland struggles with hugh rates of alcoholism. Suicide, depression, and drug abuse rates are consistently higher than the global average in Finland as well.

Costa Rica is the big outlier here. The rest are wealthy, tech advanced countries with a strong safety net.

i can expect israel since they have like all the prophets abd holy sites of the biggedt rrligion in the world but why costa rica
those are countries with a realtively small total area and fewer population, would that be the cause? having a population of 5 million not the same as 50 millions or 100

Nah this is not it, there should be a massive difference between happiness and quality of life, having everything doesn’t mean you are happy, and living in poor condition doesn’t mean you are miserable.
In countries like Scandinavian, they have excellent quality of life, but their people are grumpy, not social, and have fun only under alcohol, they live half of the year in grueling winter, and total darkness, and they have some of the highest levels of depression.
On the other hand you see people who live in poor conditions that are always smiling, sociable, happy.
Do you know that Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland ranks top 10 globally in the use of anti depressant medications?
And they have some of the highest chronic depression in the world.
Iceland: 15.6% of people reporting chronic depression.
Sweden: 11.7%.
Denmark: 10%.
Finland: 9.0% of the population.
All of these countries are in the top 60 globally for suicide rates.
And according to scientific studies, the primary driver for the general unhappiness is the prolonged absence of sunlight.

Great! Let’s live under a (constantly in operation) Iron Dome! That’s true happiness!
And then, six months of darkness in the North, some widespread suicide thought (and some succeeding in the pursue) and other very happy countries!
Then Switzerland: 40CHF for a terrible pizza! 120 km per hour on the highway with a 100k car! Wow! Everything closed at 5pm! That’s true happiness!

So glad Israel is happy. That’s the real hard-fought happy we can all relate to!

Who defines what happiness is? Are all participants basing their happiness on the same criteria? Who conducted this research?

How is finland still number one considering their economic stagnation and aging population?

Finland also has one of the highest suicide rates. Happiness isn’t just about convenience. You can’t really measure it by GDP or government stuff. It’s more about one’s personal attitude toward life which can’t be measured in numbers.

In Finland, they’re happy because they have Matti as a spokesman to say no „no homo“ in Finland.
